Abstract

Young’s Modulus of concrete is studied on the basis of triaxial compressive experiments. The authors proposed two empirical equations to calculate its static Young’s modulus and dynamic Young’s modulus when dynamic Poisson ratio μ d varies nearby 0.20. P-wave velocity and elastic modulus have the same varying tendency as letter N. μ, μ d decrease with the increase of loading rate and μ d has a great effect on the parameters E d and E D.
