Modified Falling Mass Impact Test Performance on Functionally Graded Two Stage Aggregate Fibrous Concrete.

This research examined the performance of functionally graded two-stage fibrous concrete (FTSFC) against modified repeated falling-mass impacts. This study led to the concept of creating improved multiphysics model of fibre composites with better impact resistance for potential protective constructions. FTSFC was developed based on the bio-inspiring strength of turtle shells.

Response of Novel Functionally-Graded Prepacked Aggregate Fibrous Concrete against Low Velocity Repeated Projectile Impacts.

Preplaced Aggregate Fibrous Concrete (PAFC) is a newly minted composite that has recently become more popular. The production of PAFC involves two essential processes; first, the fibres and coarse aggregate were filled into the empty framework to form the first layer of a natural skeleton, followed by grout injecting. A cement grout fills the voids in the first layer skeleton with slight compaction.
