Abstract

The need to accurately predict the response of structures under impact loadings has led to an interest in the mechanical properties of component materials at high rates of loading. The mechanism of cracking and its propagation play an important role in evaluation of the response of fiber reinforced concrete structures subjected to impulsive loading. In the present study, single–edge notched beams were tested under high velocity impact loads. A computer assisted instrumented Charpy test system was employed in performing the impact tests. Development and testing of a new fiber optic sensor, for the determination of internal Crack Opening Displacements (COD) in fiber reinforced concrete is described.
