Abstract
Finite element analysis (FEA) has been carried out for investigation of damping concrete under different impact loading conditions with a built-in material model and damage criteria available in FEA code ABAQUS. At first, all parameters for the selected material model had been derived from compression tests of cubic specimens. After that, a validation was carried out with different static and dynamic penetration tests. Finally, a 5 meter real drop test with a 23 Mg cylindrical cask could successfully be simulated.
