A test series of 15 reinforced concrete (RC) plates was carried out in the drop tower of the
Otto Mohr Laboratory of Technische Universität Dresden. In these tests, the structural
behavior of RC plates of different thicknesses was investigated under impact load. Within
this report, the investigated specimen and the used drop tower facility are introduced.
Furthermore, the experimental program and the experimental results will be shown.
Following, the influence of different thicknesses and impact velocities are presented and …

The Otto Mohr Laboratory at Technische Universität Dresden's drop tower was used to
conduct a series of tests on fifteen reinforced concrete (RC) plates. Under impact load, these
studies examined the structural behaviour of RC plates of varying thicknesses. This report
introduces the specimen that was researched as well as the drop tower facility that was
employed. Not only that, but the experimental program and outcomes will also be shown.
Presented and discussed below are the effects of varying thicknesses and impact velocities …
