Prior to ballistic testing was necessary to design the high-strength concrete with specific mechanical properties, especially those related to ductility, since these special concrete must absorb the high energy of projectiles and also the shock waves that accompany them.}, number={307}, journal={Materiales de Construcción}, author={Cánovas, M.
