Local Damage to Reinforced Concrete Panels Subjected to Oblique Impact by Projectiles: Outline of Impact Test

Studies on the local damage to reinforced concrete (RC) panels subjected to projectile impact have mainly focused on collisions that occur at an angle normal to the structure; thus, research on oblique impact is scarce. Due to this, we conducted research focusing on oblique impact to enable more realistic impact assessment of projectile collisions. To date, the validity of the analytical method has been confirmed by comparing the results with those of previous tests, and the local damage to RC panels that have collided with projectiles has been analytically investigated focusing on the impact angle. Therefore, this study aims to confirm the validity of the analysis method by conducting specific impact tests under various conditions, including the impact angle, by obtaining the relevant data. This paper outlines the test for the local damage to RC panels subjected to both normal and oblique impacts.
