Standards and regulations for dimensioning of load-bearing structures are based on the response of load-bearing structures subjected to loads without variation in time. In the event of an accidental load, e.g. a collision or explosion, causes the load to have a rapid variation in the time resulting in a dynamic response. Previous studies have shown that structures that respond in a certain way under static load have shown a completely different behavior under dynamic influence and therefore it is of interest to study the dynamic response of structures.By testing concrete beams with varying amounts of shear reinforcement subjected to impact loading, the purpose of this report is to analyze how the beams responds in terms of crack width and vibrations when they are exposed to a dynamic load. For comparison, reference tests have also been performed on beams subjected to a quasi-static load.The result of the project shows that the shear reinforcement comes into play as the beams with a larger amount of reinforcement have more capacity to hold the flexural shear cracks together. There is also an indication that the dynamic flexural shear capacity could be lower than static shear capacity as the shear cracks had an increased inclination during dynamic loading for some of the beams. This results in a decreased flexural shear capacity as only one stirrup carried the load across the shear crack.Measured signal shows that beams failing respond when impacted by the similar to a plastic collision, while beams responding with a flexure dominated mode without going to failure instead answer similar to an elastic collision. Furthermore, there is indication that the natural frequencies change significantly due to both flexural cracks and flexural shear cracks.
