Fig. 9 - Unit 2 - Concentric Loading at The Low Strain Rate

This document summarizes the results of tests on 6 concrete cylinder units under concentric loading. It includes the material properties, loading conditions, and failure modes. The key results are: 1) Graphs show the load-longitudinal strain behavior for each unit, with steps down indicating fracture of hoop reinforcement. 2) The core concrete stress-strain curves were calculated by subtracting the contributions of longitudinal steel and cover concrete from the total load-strain data. 3) For units loaded at low strain rates, the core concrete behaved similarly up to the first hoop fracture, reaching 25-30% of cylinder compressive strength.
