Plastic fibres reinforced concrete.
 
To my knowledge, ASTM does not have such a test for this material.&nbsp;&nbsp;You might adapt one of the other ASTM impact resistance standards to use for this material.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is often necessary as ASTM does not cover every possibility of applications for materials and some committees do not broaden the scope of specific materials to encompass other applications.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you adapt another method, be sure to note that in any reporting that you might do.<br><br>ASTM C1116 and C1018 cover fiber reinforced concrete properties for flexural toughness and first crack strength.&nbsp;&nbsp;ACI Committee 544 has issued a research/reference report on fiber reinforced concrete that might prove to be helpful.
