Abstract

When designing the nuclear related reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to an aircraft impact, it is important to reliably evaluate the inelastic behavior of RC panels, taking into account the deformation rate of RC members. The objectives of the present study are to experimentally investigate the inelastic behavior of RC panels under high-speed loading using 1/6 scale specimens, focusing on the effects of rebar ratio and the applicability of rebar lap
