concrete (FRC) are compared with experimental testing data, which were based on
a testing procedure recommended by ACI committee 544. Concrete specimens were prepared with two
waterecement ratios 0.36 and 0.46. Hooked-end steel fibers with an aspect ratio equal of 80 at 0.5% and
1% volume fractions and polypropylene fibers at 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.5% volume fractions were used. Both the
numerical and experimental analysis results indicated that increasing the fiber volume fraction increased
the impact resistance of the concrete specimens. The impact resistance increase was greater for normalstrength
than that for high-strength concrete. The results also demonstrated that steel fibers are more
effective at increasing impact resistance than polypropylene fibers.
