Impact Resistance of Steel Fibre Reinforced Thin-Walled Shell Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

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 short-term dynamic loads or even dynamic impact loads during their lifespan. Dynamic effects can be significant especially for thin-walled shell structures and barrier constructions. Impact loading of construction 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 reinforced concrete with fibers has a positive impact on increasing the resistance to impact loads. Results of impact load tests carried out on drop-weight test machine are presented in this paper. The results are supplemented by static modulus of elasticity.
