What is Perforation of Plain and Fibre Reinforced Concretes Subjected to Low-velocity Impact Loading about?
Small circular concrete plates, with a diameter of 245 mm and a thickness of 25.4 mm, were cast using plain concrete, steel fibre reinforced concrete, and polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete. These plates, supported by a circular ring, were subjected to impact loading at their centres by a 5.5 mm bullet-nosed indentor, which formed the striking point of a large, instrumented drop weight impact machine. The total mass of the drop weight was 345 kg, with impact velocities ranging from 1.34 to 2.67 m/s. It was found that 0.5% by volume polypropylene fibres had little effect on the peak loads, but increased somewhat the energy required to perforate the plates. However, 1.0% by volume steel fibres led to a significant increase in both peak loads and fracture (perforation) energy.
