Abstract
Reinforced concrete (rc)-structures are used to protect vital parts of nuclear facilities against external hazards. These include malevolent or accidental airplane crash (APC). In this context kerosene mass may significantly contribute to loading as well as structural damage of the target rc-structure. Past research has been limited regarding this issue and few experimental data were available. Therefore, a test series called L-series dealing with impact of water-filled missiles on rc-slabs was carried out in the framework of Phase III of the multinational research project IMPACT at Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT). In additional tests impact forces were recorded with a force plate system. Test results are used to validate numerical models for LS-DYNA and ANSYS AUTODYN software.
