Reinforced concrete beams are widely used in various civil structures such as residential, industrial, and commercial buildings. The use of RC beams reduces the cost of the construction and the time of execution. Rockfalls, accidental events, explosions, projectile, missile or aircraft impacts, terrorist attacks and ice impacts are the typical examples of sudden loads. Experimental studies can be impractical and require expensive devices to observe crack pattern and failure due to impact loading. Similar results can be obtained through non-linear finite elements analysis. In this study, RC beam is modelled and analyzed for changing impact velocity. Beam properties like clear cover is varied to access the damage in beams.
