Non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete slabs under impact effect
Abstract
Most of the existing structures are designed to resist static loads only. Various researchers indicate that sudden loads affecting structural members should also be considered in the design phase. Surfaces of many structures are covered with concrete slab members that are under the effect of sudden loads such as accidental drops, rock falls, or military attacks. A non-linear analysis of RC slabs is performed in this study using the Abaqus software. Impact parameters such as accelerations, velocities, displacements, impact forces, and energy capacities, are determined for each slab.
