A New Eco-Friendly Method for Increasing Blast and Impact Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Project Information

Title: A New Eco-Friendly Method for Increasing Blast and Impact Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Subject: Engineering

Subcategory: Building Technology

Grade level: Middle School - Grades 7-9

Academic Level: Ordinary

Project Type: Engineering

Cost: high

Awards: Community Impact Award

Affiliation: Google Science Fair

Year: 2016

Materials: Aluminium cans, different concrete samples

Techniques: Impact load Tests

Equipment: Mechanical testing machine

Concepts: Blast and impact resistance buildings

Description: The objective of this project is to develop an external wall model by using waste aluminium cans in order to minimize the effect of explosion and impact loads in buildings. Four experimental groups reinforced with cans and four control samples consisting of normal concrete were tested under low velocity impact load and high velocity impact load. Results compared.
