Abstract
In this study, appropriate methodology and finite element models have been developed in order to simulate hard impact on reinforced and pre-stressed concrete slabs. The developed models were validated by the impact tests reported by VTT. The tests included the collision of approximately 47 kg missiles, having
impact velocities around 120 m/s, on reinforced and pre-stressed concrete square slabs (2.1 x 2.1 x 0.25 m). Three threshold parameters of the element removal algorithm have been used to calibrate the FE models. The residual velocities and the ultimate capacities of the slabs have been compared with the experimental study, which were in good agreement.
