- This numerical and experimental work focuses on the structural response of fibrous concrete beams under both low-rate and impact loading. The aim of the research work was to investigate key aspects of structural behaviour such as crack patterns, strength and failure modes under varying levels of loading rate. Impact test data on wide beams is scarce and this work has improved our understanding of the structural behaviour of these elements. The findings are useful for practicing engineers as well as professional bodies setting design guidelines. The models discussed are also beneficial to other researchers.
