Finite Element Analysis of Impact Load on Reinforced Concrete
CIGOS 2021, EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS FOR GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE(2022)
Abstract
Over the past few years, studies have been carried out on cement less geopolymer concrete due to its substantial reduction in carbon footprint. Limited literature is available about impact resistance of geopolymer reinforced concrete. This study focuses on low and high-velocity impact simulations on reinforced concrete(RC) beam and slab. A spherical ball of standard size has been used as an impactor. The impact load has been applied on the conventional and geopolymer reinforced concrete beam and slab, and the deformation responses of these specimens have been analyzed. ANSYS Explicit Dynamics 19.2 software was used for the finite element analysis of the specimens. The findings show that the geopolymer concrete shows better performance against impact resistance.
