This study experimentally investigates the impact behaviour of rubberized concrete beams
strengthened with basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP). Twelve reinforced concrete …

The contact forcing function (of time) generated by the impact of hailstone is crucial to
reliable predictions of damage to cladding and glazing panels. This article aims to present …

Composite (CC) beams are employed more and more extensively because of their
advantages in environmentally-friendly and rapid construction. These beams are possibly …

A three-dimensional numerical model was established to investigate the impact resistance
of concrete shear walls reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, considering the …

This paper investigates the plastic yield behavior during the supersonic, transonic and
subsonic stages of impact. The frictionless impacts of a rigid sphere on an elastic-perfectly …

The most severe seismic events normally cause the collapse of vulnerable buildings'
leading to injuries and death of their occupants. Such catastrophic toll in death and injuries …

The damage behavior and simplified calculation of fiber-reinforced polymer reinforced
concrete (FRP-RC) beams subjected to impact loading have attracted substantial attention …

Structural engineers usually make simple hand calculations to pre-design structures before
performing further complex analysis. However, in the case of structures subjected to impact …

The boulder impact force in debris flow is generally calculated by static methods such as the
cantilever beam models. However, these methods cannot describe the dynamic scenario of …

This textbook covers the collision of a moving, falling or flying object on a rigid barrier or a
structural element, and the transmission of the transient action to the rest of the structural …
