Experimental Investigation of Projectile Impact Local Damage on Cementitious Composite Slabs

Abstract:

This paper describes the projectile impact resistance of cement based composite slabs. The resistance is evaluated on the basis of the presented experimental program. In the experiment, local damage was inflicted by impact of defined projectiles on specimens made from normal strength concrete (NSC), steel fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with different fiber content. Deformable ogive-nose projectiles with diameter of 7.92 mm and mass of 8.04 g with impact velocity about 700 m/s were in the experiment hitting center of the specimens. Data from the measured and visual evaluation of specimen damage were used for comparison of specimen projectile impact resistance in relation to the used material.
