Abstract

Impact tests were carried out on post-tensioned beams, prepared both with plain concrete and fibre-reinforced concrete. It was found that post-tensioned beams might be less resistant to impact loading than were ordinary reinforced concrete beams. However, the addition of fibres to the concrete greatly increased the impact resistance of these beams.
