Impact-Resistant Analysis of Fixed Reinforced Concrete Beam with Composite Laminates

Abstract:

Traditional design of structural members is considered less collision effects, so it may be possible to cause damage due to impact loads. In view of this, impact-resistant performance of the composite protective measures proposed in the early time was analyzed. In the process of the numerical simulation, the observed reinforced concrete beams fixed at both ends with four different measures including the unprotected, the rigid protective, the flexible protective and the composite protective one were considered separately. Protective effects of the different measures were compared and analyzed by observing the strain, the velocity, the acceleration and the impact force of the target beam. Numerical results show that the composite protective system works best. The composite protective layer of the beam can suppress the impact response effectively.
