Abstract
Energy dissipation in prestressed concrete targets has been studied against the impact of long rod steel projectiles. Experiments have been carried out wherein prestressed concrete plates of thicknesses 60, 80 and 100 mm were subjected to impact by 1 kg steel projectiles at normal incidence velocities close to ballistic limit. An initial prestress of 10 and 20% of unconfined compressive strength 40 MPa has been induced in the target through...
