In this paper, the Lattice Discrete Particle Model for fiber reinforced concrete (LDPM-F) is
calibrated and validated with reference to a new high-strength, ultra-high-performance …

Mixed mode I/II fracture often occurs when rock with pre-existing defects is subjected to
dynamic impact. However, the understanding of dynamic mixed mode I/II fracture of rock is …

The dynamic tensile strength of concrete has been experimentally reported to increase
significantly with the increase of imposed strain rates. However, the intrinsic mechanisms …

To investigate the effectiveness of today's analytical methods and to improve the robustness
assessment methodologies for reinforced concrete (RC) structures impacted by missiles, an …

This paper presents the investigation of the dynamic behaviour of concrete material under
high strain rate tension using an interface approach in a mesoscale model framework. A rate …

Dynamic tensile properties of concrete play a very important role in the blast-resistant
performance of concrete structure. Systematic tests on the tensile properties of normal …

The dynamic tensile properties of coral aggregate seawater concrete (CASC) play a
substantial role in reef engineering and marine military defense engineering applications …

The research presented in this paper deals with the impact behavior of steel fiber-reinforced
concrete (SFRC). An experimental campaign on unnotched prismatic specimens has been …

The research presented in this paper deals with the numerical analysis of projectile impact
on regular strength concrete (RSC), high‐strength concrete (HSC), and engineered …

The spalling technique based on the use of a single Hopkinson bar put in contact with the
tested sample has been widely adopted as a reliable method for obtaining the tensile …
