Abstract

High safety is generally required for a reinforced concrete structure from impact force under various situations. While many research organizations have proposed the analytical technique, it is hard to say that the general-purpose analyzing method for impact behavior is fully established. In this research, various examinations are performed about the analysis model and the dynamic constitutive relation using one of general-purpose finite element method software ADINA (Automatic Dynamic Incremental Nonlinear Analysis). The applicability and its validity to impact analysis have been shown.
