Abstract
The paper presents the studies carried out on low velocity impact of Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) panels of size 350X350X10 mm3 and 350X350X15 mm3. The panels are cast with 2 and 2.5% micro steel fibre and compared with UHPC without fiber. The panels are subjected to low velocity impact, by a drop-weight hemispherical impactor, at three different energy levels of 10, 15 and 20 J. The impact force obtained from the experiments are compared with numerically obtained results using finite element method, theoretically by energy balance approach and empirically by nonlinear multigenetic programming. The predictions by these models are found to be in good coherence with the experimental results.
