Abstract: Design of infrastructure materials with inherent material damping may help dissipate energy during dynamic loading events such as earthquakes, thereby reducing structural damage and risk of collapse. One possible method ...

Abstract: Other than through the creation of fracture surfaces, cementitious materials do not generally contribute significantly to strain energy dissipation or damping during dynamic loading of civil infrastructure. In this paper, ...

Abstract: The results of the dynamic pressurization test and of the radial flow-through test on hollow cylinders of the same material are compared to validate the newly developed hollow dynamic pressurization technique. The results ...
