Abstract

Reinforced concrete slabs are the common structural elements in almost all reinforced concrete structures. An accidental impact load in such an element can be caused by mishaps in industry as well as accidents provided from transportation and artificial disasters or natural hazard as rock fall. The behavior of reinforced concrete slabs under impact loads is not always respected or correctly taken into account. There is a number of ways to predict how an impact load will affect a reinforced concrete slab, some of which may be impractical or expensive but because there have been significant developments in technology, numerical techniques rather than experimental approaches have become popular methods for developing detailed responses. The intent of this study is to give a finite element model to investigate the dynamic response and behavior of reinforced concrete slabs subject to low velocity impact loading. Taking advantage of a commercial finite element package ABAQUS/Explicit code, three-dimensional numerical simulations have been performed, addressing the parameters associated with the impact load and reinforced concrete slab. The obtained results show a good correlation with the experiments.
