Impact behaviour of concrete beams
Abstract
The determination of behaviour of structural members under load has become increasingly prominent with current advances in technology. The effect of impact on solids should not be ignored. The impact behaviour of non-reinforced concrete beams is investigated in this study both experimentally and using the finite element analysis. Members are tested in laboratory, and the ABAQUS software is used in the analysis. Accelerations, velocities, displacements, impact forces, and energy absorption capacities, have been obtained in the scope of these analyses.
