Abstract

<p>Metrological challenges analyzing high dynamic impact on reinforced slabs. The comprehension of high dynamic impact processes on reinforced concrete structures is of essential importance for the dimensioning of structures regarding exceptional loading scenarios like airplane impacts. Since, for high strain rates in comparison with quasi-static conditions an altered material behavior appears, an adequate methodology and application of appropriate measurement is required to assess the structural behavior of building components. The present paper describes the metrological methodology and the challenges of the experimental investigations of reinforced concrete slabs under impact with loading periods of only a few µs or ms. The determination of time history curves of impact velocities, bearing forces, displacements and the determination of sound wave velocities inside the structure requires an appropriate high sampling rate with the signal recording. The results lately lead to a holistic assessment of the structural behavior and the damage phenomena of such processes.</p>
