stress rates are presented. The dynamic tests are carried out on notched cylindrical
specimens using a Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar. The material behavior of UHPFRC and its
matrix (UHPC) is investigated at four high stress rates (from 400 to 1000 GPa/s). The rate
sensitivity of the UHPFRC and UHPC in tension is evaluated in terms of Dynamic Increase
Factor (DIF) of their peak strength. Finally, two different coring orientations on UHPFRC …
