Experimental Study on the Tensile Properties of Rock-Mortar Interface under Different Strain Rates by Nan Wu, Zhende Zhu, Zhilei He

“…Through the use of a precise servo actuator system and three extensometers measured axial-stress-crack-width curves, it is shown that the rock-mortar interface is very sensitive to the strain rate. The tensile strength increases with strain rate, the crack width decreases at the same time, and the axial-stress-crack-width curves gradually evolve from a concave-downward trend to a linear decreasing trend. …”
