Abstract
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has been used in structural applications in order to enhance the structural performance under dynamic loading and reduce cracking and spalling phenomena by increasing toughness, ductility, and tensile strength of the concrete. High-performance fiber-reinforced cement based composite (HPFRC) is a high-strength FRC with enhanced high-performance characteristics. Recent studies have shown that HPFRC has higher impact resistance than other types of concrete. Therefore, it has been widely considered as a promising material for the construction of important and strategic structures. HPFRC panels are tested by drop projectiles up to an impact at which failure occurs. Mechanical properties of HPFRC are obtained to define material parameters in the MAT_SOIL_CONCRETE model in LS-DYNA, which is used to simulate the behavior of HPFRC panel under impact loading and perform parametric studies. Predicted crack and failure patterns on both sides of the HPFRC panel based on finite element simulation are in good agreement with their corresponding experimental results. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
