Thirty‐two reinforced concrete beams were tested under static and fluid impact loads. Hoop (rectangular) and spiral transverse reinforcement of various configurations were used to confine the specimens. The objectives were to observe the effect of shape of beams and configuration of confinement reinforcement on the impact resistance, and to estimate the limiting fluid velocity that causes total failure.
