Abstract: The effect of both biaxial and uniaxial lateral confinement on fibre reinforced concrete (FRC)plates under transverse impact loading was investigated.
It was found that confinement had a major effect on the failure patterns as well as on the mechanical properties of both plain and fibre reinforced concretes.
With different types and degrees of confinement,the failure changed from a flexural mode to a punching shear mode or a combined flexural-shear mode.
With confinement,the apparent strength of concrete increased by up to two or three times and the inertial load decreased to a small enough fraction of the measured impact load that it could be ignored in the analysis.
The ability of the FRC to absorb energy also increased with increasing confinement.
