The presented paper deals with a series of impact experiments conducted in the drop tower facility of the Otto Mohr Laboratory (OML) at the Technische Universität Dresden. The presented research results were generated in three projects. A number of reinforced concrete (RC) plates which were subsequently strengthened on the not-impacted side were produced and tested. As basic materials for the RC plates, a normal strength concrete (C35/45) and conventional BSt500 reinforcement steel were used. Different material combinations, cement-bonded composites were chosen for the subsequently applied strengthening layer. The paper presents the experimental program, the used test facility, and the results of the experiments and their interpretation.
