The major concerned objective of this paper is to suggest more detailed analytical methods to simulate the projectile impact on concrete target using the finite element analysis software of ANSYS LS-DYNA. The concrete is a principal material that has been comprehensively used in the field of civil and architectural engineering including from high-rise structures to long-span bridges. Not only these typically representative buildings, but other structures and national major facilities, such as nuclear power plants, also have mainly adopted concrete in various ways. These concrete structures should be designed against severe accidents causing structural failure. In this regard, the structural safety of each concrete structure should be evaluated meticulously. Detailed analytical methods are suggested by establishing numerical models in the software, which are used to simulate actual experiments in the past, F-4D jet impact experiments conducted by Sandia National Laboratories in 1988.
