IRIS 3 Program: Study of the Vibrations Induced by a Missile Impact on a Reinforced Concrete Structure

The IRIS program (Improving Robustness assessment of structures Impacted by a large miSsile at medium velocity) consists in an international benchmark under the hospice of OECD/NEA. After two first phases of this benchmark realized in 2010 and 2012 which aimed at assessing the ability of numerical simulations to describe the experimental structural response of the mock-up when subjected to impacts, the IRIS Program is now in its third phase. The main objectives of this phase are to assess the effect of a local damage caused by a missile impact on the induced vibrations and to assess the propagation of these vibrations to other parts of the structure, especially to pseudo-equipments which are anchored on it.
