Anotace: Thin plates made of Ultra-High-Performance Steel-Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPSFRC) with textile Aramid fabrics were subjected to a projectile impact and its post-test damage was discussed. The damage degrees were the type of the response and crater surface, which was determined by using a 3D scanner. The most common type of ammunition, which is a 7.62 × 39mm calibre with a full-metal jacket and a mild-steel core, was used for all specimens.

It was verified experimentally that the UHP-SFRC with textile Aramid fabrics has a better ballistic performance in comparison with its counterpart made of the UHP-SFRC without any textile reinforcement. Also, it was verified that specimens with the point or segment interconnection threads between the front side textile fabrics and rear side textile fabrics have a higher resistance due to the better integrity of the monolithic UHP-SFRC mixture.
