Description
Summary:Numerical simulation methods and several measures are proposed to protect the existing reinforced concrete slabs and effectively resist impact loads. In the finite element model (FEM), two kinds of concrete material samples are used, with emphasis on the concrete stress, displacement response, and failure state. The FEM of an unprotected reinforced concrete slab at impact loads is constructed, and its accuracy is verified by comparing it with the experimental results of other researchers. On this basis, FEM of slabs at impact loads within different protective measures is built up, which creates certain support for the finite element simulation of reinforced concrete members at impact loads, and the protective properties of various materials are compared, which will provide a reference to choose those materials for a slab to resist the impact.
