The significance of cracking and microcracking caused by nonuniform drying shrinkage of test specimens is analyzed. To assure that no cracks are produced by drying in load-free specimens, one must lower the environmental humidity gradually and sufficiently slowly, and use very thin specimens (about
For evaluating the performance of concrete constructions such as foundation piles, a knowledge of the dynamic properties of concrete is also required. Some results of a study of concrete under dynamic impact loading are given in this paper. ~ lOOx200 mm cylindrical specimens were cast from plain and
The size effect of concrete strength has been analysed by statistical theories of brittle materials in this paper. On the basis of available theories and experiments, normal distribution was used in preference to any other. The use of Weibull's theory in a non-uniformly tensile stress state has been
