Abstract
A series of soft impact tests were carried out with square reinforced concrete slabs positioned in an inclined angle in relation to the impacting projectile. The projectile used in the tests was a hollow steel tube weighing 50 kg. The purpose of the tests was to study the effect of the inclination angle to the response of the slabs. The inclination angle that resulted the projectile to slide on the impacted surface was between 10° and 20°. Reduced normal component of the loading combined with sliding and rotation of the projectile resulted remarkable decrease in the level of target response in the tests with 20° inclination angle. The target response in the tests with 10° inclination angle was even slightly higher than in the perpendicular impact tests that were used for comparison.
