Determination of Tensile Strength at Crack Initiation in Dynamic Brazilian Disc Test for Concrete-like Materials

Concrete is a brittle material whose tensile strength is about one-tenth of its compressive strength. Tensile strength is a key parameter for concrete under impact loading. When a turning point occurs before peak load in the load–time curve from the dynamic Brazilian disc test, there is no basis for...
