Abstract

The basic features of the penetration, scabbing and perforation processes in concrete structures hit by solid missiles are discussed. The influence of the missile slenderness and crushing strength is then evaluated. The tensile strength of concrete is introduced, as a single strength parameter of the target material, in the simplified equations proposed for prediction purposes. The equations also account for size effects and for the influence of steel reinforcement.
