dc.description.abstractBehavior of structural members under various loads has been a major interest. However, impact loading type is the least known one among them. Researchers have investigated the behavior of structural members under impact effect recently. For this reason, a well-instrumented experimental program is used to understand the impact behavior of six different sized reinforced concrete specimens. All specimens both have longitudinal and transverse reinforcements. A testing apparatus is developed to perform tests under impact loading. Accelerometers, optic photocells, dynamic force sensor, a data logger and connecting cables are used as well as testing apparatus. Free falling height and mass of steel hammer are taken constant in the study. Test program has been successful to provide several data to understand the impact behavior. Drop numbers and rebound movements of the hammer are determined according to damage situations. Acceleration values are measured from four different points of the specimens. The change of velocity and displacement values is determined for all specimens. Impact force is also measured for each free falling movement and absorbed energy values are calculated according to the area under the curve of impact force-displacement graphs. Test results give substantial information about impact resistances of reinforced concrete members. © 2015, Indian Journal of Engineering and Materials Sciences. All rights reserved.
