Concrete Penetration

Abstract

A theory of perforation and penetration of concrete which represents the best recommendation that can be made in the present state of our knowledge of concrete penetrations is presented. Formulas are derived for computing the resisting force during penetration and the remaining velocity as a function of depth during penetration. Selected data on the effects of projectile nose shape and mass and on concrete properties are analyzed to illustrate the application of the proposed theory.
