This study investigated the impact of axial load on the dynamic response of reinforced concrete (RC) members to asymmetrical lateral impact loads. A series of asymmetrical-span impact tests were conducted on circular and square RC members with and without Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) while varying the axial compression ratios. The impact process was simulated using ABAQUS software, and the time history curves of deflection and impact were measured.

Reinforced concrete (RC) constructions often involve derailed train and vehicle accidents. Rarely are such side collisions studied in previous studies.

- Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is used to strengthen reinforced concrete frameworks due to its durability and ease of installation.
- This study focused on the dynamic response of CFRP-reinforced concrete elements when subjected to unequal lateral impacts, highlighting issues such as bending failure and damage zones.
- Findings indicate that while wrapping methods and layers affect damage levels and deflection during impacts, longitudinal wrapping is more effective in force transmission compared to transverse wrapping.
