Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of the resistance to impact of layered RC barriers, as compared to the resistance of single-layer RC barriers. Comparative tests were conducted on various 800×800×200mm3 concrete plate specimens that were subjected to an impact of similar steel projectiles, accelerated to different velocities by means of a gas gun system. The paper presents initial results, which include records of the damage under different measured projectile velocities and the perforation resistance. These results lead to findings regarding various effects of properties of the layers, such as the use of fibers, on the resistance and performance of layered RC barriers to hard projectile impact.
