Research Review on Impact Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Beams Under Impact Loads
Aiming at the status of research on impact resistance of reinforced concrete beams under impact loads,exten-sive research and many valuable achievements having been made,a large amount of work and research results based on experimental,numerical,and theoretical methods carried out by many scholars at home and abroad were summarized,including the research on impact loads,strain rate effect of materials,as well as dynamic response,failure mechanism,and design assessment methods of reinforced concrete beams.According to the failure law and characteristics of reinforced concrete beams,the failure modes were summarized,and the criterion of failure mode discrimination based on bearing capacity was proposed.The future research emphasis for impact resistance of reinforced concrete beams was pointed out to be the calculation of impact loads,failure discrimination of reinforced concrete beams,and simplified response calculation.
