Impact Testing of Concrete Using a Drop-weight Impact Machine

摘要

Fibre-reinforced composite materials are becoming important in many areas of technological application. In addition to the static load, such structures may be stressed with shortterm dynamic loads or even dynamic impact loads during their lifespan. Impact loading of structural components produces a complex process, where both the characteristics of the design itself and the material parameters influence the resultant behavior. It is clear that fibre reinforced concrete has a positive impact on increasing of the resistance to impact loads. Results of two different impact load tests carried out on drop-weight test machine are presented in this report.
