The test program Received in revised form was successful in providing a substantial volume of test data including load vs. mid-span displacement, 2 January 2012 crack profiles, strain at the mid-point of longitudinal tensile reinforcements and acceleration at several Accepted 6 February 2012 locations along the specimens. Peak load, stiffness, absorption energy and strain rate were found to Available online 22 February 2012 increase with the enhancement of loading rates.
