Abstract

GRC is a cementitious composite material made up of a cement mortar matrix and chop glass fibers. Due to its outstanding mechanical properties, GRC has been widely use produce cladding panels and some civil engineering elements. Impact failure of clad panels made of GRC may occur during production if some tool falls onto the panel, to stone or other objects impacting at low velocities or caused by debris projected, a blast. Impact failure of a front panel of a building may have not only an important nomic value but also human lives may be at risk if broken pieces of the panel fall f the building to the pavement. Therefore, knowing GRC impact strength is necessary to vent economic costs and putting human lives at risk. One-stage light gas gun is an impact test machine capable of testing different mate subjected to impact loads. An experimental program was carried out, testing GRC sam of five different formulations, commonly used in building industry. Steel spheres were at different velocities on square GRC samples. The residual velocity of the projectiles obtained both using a high speed camera with multiframe exposure and measuring projectile's penetration depth in molding clay blocks. Tests were performed on yr and artificially aged GRC samples to compare GRC's behavior when subjected to high si rates. Numerical simulations using a hydrocode were made to analyze which paramc are most important during an impact event. GRC impact strength was obtained from test results. Also, GRC's embrittlement, cause GRC aging, has no influence on GRC impact behavior due to the small size of the projectile., glass fibers used in GRC production only maintain GRC panels' integrity but have no influent GRC's impact strength. Numerical models have reproduced accurately impact tests. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reset
