title = "Impact study of textile reinforced cementitious materials: test method and preliminary results",
abstract = "In building engineering, impact loading and other accidental loads are mostly taken into consideration by measures on the structural level rather than on the material level, the latter one is even seldom explored. Textile reinforced Cements (TRCs) is a composite material group which is still in full development. Its potential to dissipate a significant amount of energy under low velocity impact loading was already indicated in a preliminary study. In the present study, the low velocity impact behaviour of TRC laminates is investigated more closely and this by means of an instrumented drop weight test. This study has shown the ability of the used test method to identify damage mechanisms underlying the energy absorption under low velocity impact loading in TRC composite laminates.",
