Abstract

In this paper we present some results from a work developed in order to get some rational design method of SFRC against the impact of small projectiles. Firstly, we describe the way through which trials were done. Second, we present the principal results of this work. Based on it, a model is proposed to calculate both penetration depth of the projectile if it is not to perforate and residual velocity if it is to perforate, as well as perforation or scabbing threshold thicknesses. Owing to its physical basis and overall principles its application goes beyond -at least at the beginning- the field of steel fiber reinforced concrete. 1. Plates Various series of concrete plates were made with different thicknesses and fibers dosage. This plates were hit by a set of projectiles of various types
