Abstract Empirical formulae based on experimental data to evaluate concrete penetration depth under impact loading are often used due to the complexity of the phenomena. Several design codes employ empirical formulae for the design of protective barriers. This paper presents the details of relative assessment of the use of well known empirical formulae for evaluation of concrete penetration depth under impact loading. The empirical formulae employed in the present studies include Conwep, Army corps, Haldar, Ammann and Whitney, UKAEA, BRL, Modified Petry and modified NDRC. Appropriate expressions and limitations for these empirical formulae have been provided. Performance of these empirical formulae… More >
