SCALE-MODEL TESTING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE UNDER IMPACT LOADING CONDITIONS

Aspects of scaling theory relating to the response of reinforced concrete structures under impact load conditions are reviewed. Details for modelling concrete and reinforcement to be consistent with similitude requirements, are also discussed. A test program is described in which models of varying size were constructed, drop tested, and compared with prototype response. An analysis of the test data is made, indicating that within certain limitations, the predictionss of scaling theory are applicable to reinfroced concrete subjected to extreme impact loads.
