Guidelines for the design and assessment of concrete structures subjected to impact

This document presents techniques, which are advisory rather than mandatory, for designing and assessing the impact behaviour of concrete structures. These recommended techniques are based on extensive studies carried out by UKAEA, CEGB and NNC and on work in France, Germany and the USA. Studies of the impact behaviour of concrete are continuing, and a revised version of this document will be reissued early each year to include the most up to date information. (author)
