Abstract:Six classes of concrete were tested, namely, ordinary concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete, fly ash concrete, rubber powder concrete, polymer concrete and polymer fly ash concrete. The total mix was 33. Free vibration method was employed to measure the damping ratio of the concretes. A great deal of fundamental data for the damping ratio of concrete was obtained. While emphasis were mainly put on raising the damping ratio of concrete, as well as the compressive strength and elastic modulus of concrete.
