"The response of concrete under tensile loading is crucial for most applications because concrete is much weaker in tension than in compression. Understanding the response mechanisms of concrete under tensile conditions is therefore key to understanding and using concrete in structural applications. Understanding the tensile properties of concrete summarises key recent research in this important subject.After an introduction to concrete, the book is divided into two parts: part one on static response and part two on dynamic response. Part one starts with a summary chapter on the most important parameters that affect the tensile response of concrete. Chapters show how multi scale modelling is used to relate concrete composition to tensile properties. Part two focuses on dynamic response and starts with an introduction to the different regimes of dynamic loading, ranging from the low frequency loading by wind or earthquakes up to the extreme dynamic conditions due to explosions and ballistic impacts. Following chapters review dynamic testing techniques and devices that deal with the various regimes of dynamic loading. Later chapters highlight the dynamic behaviour of concrete from different viewpoints, and the book ends with a chapter on practical examples of how detailed knowledge on tensile properties is used by engineers in structural applications."

"Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) mixtures for use in Prestressed Concrete applications are evaluated in this paper . Twenty one SCC mixtures were made under laboratory conditions with varying water to cementitious materials ratios, sand to total aggregate rations, and cementitious materials combinations (type III cement , class C fly ash, ground-granular blast-furnance slag, and silica fume). The SCC mixtures archived prestress transfer compressive strengths between 5470 and 9530 psi (38 and 66 MPa). The moduli of elasticity of the SCC Mixtures were in reasonable agreement with the elastic stiffness assumed during the design of conventional slump concrete structures. The long term drying shrinkage strain for all the SCC mixtures were approximately the same or less than those measured for the control mixtures. A change in sand to total aggregate ratio had no significant effect on the long term drying shrinkage. At later ages of 56 and 112 days, the measured drying shrinkage corresponded reasonable well to those predicated by the ACI 209 procedure."
