Loading rate effect on crack propagation in ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRCs) was investigated using a pre-notched three-point bending specimen in an improved-strain energy frame impact machine (I-SEFIM) and image processing techniques. The crack velocity of up to 984 m/s and the crack initiation strain rate of up to 271 s(-1) were observed. Crack velocity in UHPFRCs increased as the applied strain rate increased. Fiber reinforcements significantly affected on the crack velocity in the UHPFRC at static rates, but slightly did at high strain rates. There is a strong correlation between the strain-rate sensitivity and the dynamic crack growth characteristics of UHPFRCs. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
