Characteristics of high performance reinforced concrete barriers that resist non-deforming projectile impact
A. N. Dancygier

 
Abstract
    Current research and development of high performance concrete, together with study of phenomena that are pertinent to impact resistance, have lead to a new generation of barriers with improved properties to resist impact loads. The paper reviews major properties and mechanisms that affect impact resistance of concrete barriers as per criteria that characterize the resistance. These criteria are the perforation limit, penetration depth and the amount of front and rear face damage. From the long-known, single strength parameter that used to represent the barriers
 
Key Words
    impact; high performance concrete; penetration; fibers; aggregates.
