Summary
The deformation and damage behaviour of damping concrete under impact loading conditions is investigated experimentally and numerically. The material model is based on the assumption of crushable foam with volumetric or isotropic hardening combined with ductile and shear damage criteria. Model parameters are determined in static and dynamic compression tests of confined cubic specimens. The derived material model is validated by numerical simulation of penetration tests. The static and dynamic penetration of indenters into uniform as well as assembled bricks made of damping concrete is discussed. Finally, the successful calculation of a large-scale drop test with a heavy cask-like test object onto a realistic damping concrete foundation is demonstrated.
