A New Energy Pattern Factor Method to Estimate Weibull Shape Parameter for Impact Resistance of Concrete

Impact resistance is an essential consideration in the design of civilian and military infrastructure, it should be designed precisely. In recent times, the distribution of Weibull has often been used, acknowledged, and suggested distribution in published works for many concrete applications. This work proposes a new approach for estimating the distribution of the Weibull shape parameter for impact resistance of concrete for the machine foundations. This new approach is called the energy pattern factor method. The experimental impact test data were collected from the earlier literature, which involves 1174 values, and these data were analysed using two-parameter distributions of Weibull. The Fittingness of the proposed equation is verified based on four levels of validation approach. This new approach was established and the final three equations (Polyratio (3,3), Logistic, and DR-Hill) were cleared the four level validation which indicates the good accuracy
