Abstract This paper presents the details of experimental and numerical investigations performed on fabric reinforced concrete (FABcrete) panels under impact loading. Experimental investigations have been carried out using drop weight impact on a square FABcrete panel to study the damage, failure mode and acceleration. The drop weight of 20 kg is used for the study and drop heights have been varied as 100mm, 200mm and 300mm. Numerical simulation of the drop weight impact tests on FABcrete panels have been carried out and observed that there is a good correlation between experimental and numerical predictions. It is observed that the FABcrete specimen… More >
