Tensile Properties of Very-High-Strength Concrete for Penetration-Resistant Structures

This paper describes the potential suitability of a new family of concrete mixtures for use in protective structures. Two very-high-strength concrete mixtures are discussed and experimental results of penetration studies on one of these are presented. The results are compared to penetration-study re...
