Reinforced Concrete Impact Loading

Reinforced Concrete Impact Loading

Reinforced Concrete Impact Loading

(OP)
Has anyone here dealt with impact loading of reinforced concrete? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am dealing with street circut tempoary concrete crash barriers.

So far I have been designing according to the AS 3600 with my equivalent static loads calculated from approximate impact displacements.

I have been working on refining my load calculations using  research from full scale crash testing and about to look into crash simulation FEA software made for crash barriers to calculate my displacements and peak loads.(30 day Demo version of course lol).

But for the concrete design I have not found many specialised texts and have just been conservative.Anyone an expert ?
