Field Tests of Cementitious Composites Suitable for Protective Structures and Critical Infrastructure

Abstract:

The paper deals with field tests of cementitious composites suitable for protective structures and critical infrastructure. The tests of ballistic resistance against contact and distant explosions are performed according to the NATO standards. The results of tests of plain concrete, steel fibre reinforced concrete and high performance fibre reinforced concrete are analysed.
