Abstract
The present paper deals with high dynamic loads acting on concrete material and on reinforced concrete structures. First the explosion and impact events are described briefly. The behavior of materials subjected to high speed loading is different from the behavior under static loads. Therefore concrete material modeling will be shown. Methods of structural dynamics can usually not be applied because high dynamic loads only act over a time period of milliseconds. Therefore a class of hydrocodes will be used. Further the design of reinforced concrete structures which are subjected to explosion and impact is presented. In order to meet the design requirements the corresponding structural detailing has to be considered. Examples will be presented.
