Using the plate-creep test to determine the impact strength properties of concrete

Abstract

The paper aims to design a concrete against repetitive impact and abrasion resistance. Macro/micro steel fibers and two types of crushed stone based on limestone and corundum as aggregate were used in concrete mixtures. Impact test device has been modified, designed, and used for impact strength testing of concrete. The usability of the plate-creep test in determining the impact strength of concrete was also investigated. According to the test results, a high correlation was found between the abrasion, impact resistance tests, and the creep test.
