“…The quasi-static behavior of flexural members strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates has been well documented covering flexure, shear and bond studies [8] and lately their application for impact situation has also been investigated [9][10][11][12][13]. The use of externally bonded CFRP sheets has been found to significantly improve the impact response of RC beams [9][10][11][12][13]. Abbas et al [14] presented experiments involving drop hammer loading on circular plain and skin reinforced concrete plates.…”

The strategic concrete structures are often required to resist impact loads arising from the projectile strike, falling weight, blast generated missile etc. The existing structures found deficient in resisting these loads are required to be retrofitted whereas the upcoming structures are required to be designed for expected impact loads. This paper explores the ways of strengthening existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures using externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and improving the impact resistance of concrete by mixing hybrid fibers in its production. The impact response of concrete structures is assessed using experiments involving the impact of projectiles of different nose shapes on slab specimens. The material behavior at high strain rate is established using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) testing at varying strain rates. Analytical models are developed for predicting penetration depth, scabbing thickness, ballistic limit velocity and ejected mass. The experimental results were also validated through numerical modeling using LS-DYNA.

Reinforced concrete structures and structural members used in strategic infrastructures such as highway bridges, high-rise buildings, etc. are inherently subjected to lateral impact loads arising from the collision of vehicles, vessels, falling rocks, and rigid objects having different impact geometries, weights, and velocities. Due to the brittle nature of concrete materials, both localized and overall failure modes are very likely to occur in concrete structures under dynamic and impulsive loads. Hence, many attempts have been carried out in the literature to recognize the failure behaviors and to assess the vulnerability of concrete structure under lateral impact loads. This paper presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art review on the responses and failure behaviors of various types of concrete structures and structural members subjected to lateral impact loads based on analytical, numerical, and experimental studies carried out by the previous research works. In addition, the influences of various structural- and load-related parameters on the impact resistance and failure behaviors of different concrete structures under lateral impact loads are reviewed.
