Many older structures were designed for static loads but more
recently there has been a growing awareness that some must be
designed to resist both dynamic impact and static loads. An
accidental impact load can be caused by mishaps in industry as well
as accidents stemming from transportation or man-made disasters.
Structural components can be subjected to a range of deliberate
impact loads such as military activity or terrorist attacks. A
large proportion of the surfaces of concrete structures are covered
by reinforced concrete slabs. Slabs are often slender elements,
which means they are vulnerable to flexural, shear, or a
combination of both modes of failure when subjected to impact
loading. There are a number of ways of predicting how an impact
load will affect a concrete slab, some of which may be impractical
or expensive but because there have been significant developments
in technology, numerical techniques rather than experimental
approaches have become popular methods for developing detailed
responses.
