Abstract:During the service life of reinforced concrete beams (RC beams), they may experience impact loadings induced by various falling objects, such as falling rocks and fragments of upper floors. Therefore, the RC beam’s impact resistance is important to its application in structures. This paper investigated the impact mitigation performance of polyurea coatings on RC beams by drop weight impact tests with different impact velocities and hammer shapes. According to the test results, the polyurea coatings can signifi… Show more
