Effect of the plastic hinge and boundary conditions on the impact behavior of reinforced concrete beams

This study numerically investigates the effect of the plastic hinge and boundary conditions on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams under slow-impact-velocity events. Numerical models are developed by using LS-Dyna and verified against experimental results. The effect of different factors...
