摘要:The results of experimental study of mechanical properties of samples of lime-sand brick under dynamic loading are presented. The tests were carried out using the traditional Kolsky method and its modification - dynamic splitting (the so-called «Brazilian test»). The laws of change in strength, strain, time properties and energy intensity of the investigated material are established in the strain rate range of 5·102-2.5·103s-1under compression and in the stress rate range of 2·101-3·102GPa/s under tension.
