[1G04] Evaluation of Local Damage to Reinforced Concrete Panels Subjected to Oblique Impact of Rigid and Deformable Projectiles
Keywords:Impact, Local Damage, Reinforced Concrete Panel, Oblique Impact, Deformable Projectile
Many empirical formulas have been proposed for evaluating local damage to reinforced concrete (RC) structures caused by impacts of rigid projectiles. Most of these formulas have been derived based on impact tests perpendicular to the target structures. Up to now, few impact tests oblique to the target structures have been carried out. This study has been conducted with the purpose of proposing a new formula for evaluating the local damage caused by oblique impacts based on previous experimental and simulation results. In this paper, the results of simulation analyses for evaluating the local damage to RC panels subjected to normal and oblique impacts by rigid and deformable projectiles, by using the simulation method that was validated using the results of previous impact experiments. Based on the results of these simulation analyses, the effects of the rigidity of the missile as well as the impact angle on the local damage to reinforced concrete structures are clarified.
