Abstract
Dynamic direct compression tests of plain concrete specimens were cond ucted on a split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to investigate the effe cts of increasing strain rate on the compressive strength of concrete. A comprehensive finite element method study was performed on the SHPB experiments. Both linear and nonlinear analyses were conducted. The r esults of the numerical analyses disclose the dynamic states of stress in the concrete specimen prior to failure as well as the modes of fai lure.
