Behavior of Concrete Structures under Impact Loads
By C. Itoh, K. Shirai
Concrete Journal Vol.37, No.7, July 1999
- Synopsis
- It is rare to see concrete structures damaged by some impact load in practice and there is few structures of which impact load is considered as a main external force in the design. In this report, feature of impact phenomenon of concrete structures, material properties such as compression stress-strain relationship under high strain rate and structural response and design method against impact load were described.
- Keywords:
- impact, concrete, strain rate effect
