Research on the resistance of rock-rubble concrete to shaped charge jet penetration: The role of aggregate characteristics

Key Points

• Penetration resistance of rock-rubble concrete is significantly affected by the specific characteristics of aggregates used.
• High-performance tests show that modifying aggregate composition improves resistance against shaped charge jets.
• Assessment involved experimental analysis to examine the mechanical properties under jet penetration conditions.
• Findings highlight the importance of aggregate selection in enhancing concrete's protective capabilities against explosive impacts.
