Can any one Help? impacting concrete with steel projectile

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the thesis topic of "impacting concrete with steel projectile" in civil engineering. The key factors influencing the penetration depth of a bullet into concrete include the type of aggregate used, the compressive strength of the concrete, the steel content within the concrete, and the age of the concrete. Participants recommend consulting published reports from military arsenals, as they routinely conduct research in this area. Additionally, the importance of preliminary reading suggested by the thesis supervisor is emphasized.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of concrete compressive strength
  • Knowledge of projectile dynamics
  • Familiarity with civil engineering materials
  • Statistical analysis in engineering
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of aggregate types on concrete performance
  • Study bullet penetration mechanics in concrete
  • Examine military reports on concrete impact resistance
  • Explore statistical methods for analyzing impact data
USEFUL FOR

Civil engineering students, researchers in material science, and professionals involved in structural engineering and impact analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Can anyone Help? "impacting concrete with steel projectile"

Dear all gentlemen ,

Can anyone help me ?

I'am doing my thesis in civil engineering in studying and mixing statistics with civil engineering with topic of " impacting concrete with steel projectile "

if we consider the projectile is bullet and concrete is barrier anyone has idea to find the distance which the bullet can enter inside this barrier or equation which can help me to derive ?

Just off the top of my head, I am inclined to think that this is going to depend strongly on what the aggregate is, what the strength of the concrete is, how much steel is in the concrete, and probably the age of the concrete.

I would suggest that you look for published reports from the Army arsenals. They are the sort of folks that do this type of work routinely.

This is almost certainly an area of interest to your supervisor, has s/he not given you some suggested preliminary reading?
