Abstract

As described in Part 1, the objectives of the present study are to experimentally investigate the effects of rebar ratio and lap splices on the inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) panels subjected to an impact load. Six experiments were conducted using rectangular RC panel specimens with parameters of reinforcement ratio (0.47% and 0.24%) and position of lap splices. The length of lap splices adopted in the experiments was 48d (d: diameter of rebars
