Shock Hugoniot and release states in concrete mixtures with different aggregate sizes from 3 to 23 GPa
A series of controlled impact experiments has been performed to determine the shock loading and release behavior of two types of concrete, differentiated by aggregate size, but with average densities varying by less than 2 percent. Hugoniot stress and subsequent release data was collected over a range of approximately 3 to 25 GPa using a plate reverberation technique in combination with velocity interferometry. The results of the current data are compared to those obtained in previous studies on concrete with a different aggregate size but similar density. Results indicate that the average loading and release behavior are comparable for the three types of concrete discussed in this paper.
