Ductility is one of the factors effective on study of impact loads resistant elements including explosion. One of the weaknesses of concrete elements is their low ductility against intensive loads and the engineers use fibrous concretes in order to reinforce these elements. In order to make fibrous concretes, different fibers such as steel, carbon, glass and polymer fibers. One of the superpower polymer fibers which are used in concrete elements is PVA fibers. Concrete made from these fibers has high ductility. In this article, behaviour of the cementitious composites under impact loads is studied and assessed and the obtained results are presented.
