Drop load

Free fall of a container on reinforced concrete structure
Definition of the critical free fall scenario. Modelling of the dropping loads and the target : steel container, shock absorber made of organic material, reinforced concrete structure covered by a steel cap or a radio protection slab. Presence of steel items on the free fall path able to absorb some of the fall energy.
