Abstract

This paper presents the results of a research study on the impact resistance of hybrid-fiber Engineered Cementitious Composite panels impacted by high-velocity (300-700 m/s) small-size projectiles. Uniaxial tensile tests have also been carried out at varying strain rates to better understand the behavior of ECC under impact type of loading. The results show that ECC is promising material for use in protective structures.
