While preventing structural damage caused by dynamic loading is typically addressed at a bridge's structural level, this report presents a design for the internal release of adhesives for resisting dynamic loading of reinforced concrete at the materials level. Normal reinforced concrete lacks the ability to directly respond to the formation of cracking within its own cross section during dynamic loading. Present designs for dynamic loading resistance attempt to control the structure's response by focusing on the properties of mass, stiffness, and damping, as the governing equation for structural response to dynamic loading is modeled.
