- Abstract
- Three test methods were developed to determine the resistance of concrete subjected to low velocity single- and repeated impact to failure, and to higher velocity small projectiles. These performance tests were used to evaluate the effects of reinforcing concrete with one or more of the following reinforcement types: steel fibers, rebar or expanded metal. Concretes with and without latex were included.
