Investigating the behavior of structures under dynamic loads like impact is crucial since they can induce severe damage to structures and people’s lives. This paper reviews studies on enhancing the behavior of axially-loaded reinforced concrete members under impact loading including various strengthening methods like fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and fiber-reinforced composites (FRC). Additionally, it discusses other materials like strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) and textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) as potential strengthening methods for axially loaded members against impact loading.
