摘要

This study presents a comprehensive Scientometric analysis of research on concrete impact resistance from 2019 to 2025 using the Scopus database. A total of 1,329 documents were analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOS viewer to identify research trends, influential authors, and collaboration networks. The results reveal a significant annual growth rate of 8.25%, indicating increasing research interest in the field. Keyword analysis highlights “reinforced concrete,” “compressive strength,” and “steel fibers” as dominant research themes, while emerging topics include “dynamic response” and “low-velocity impact.” China and India were identified as leading contributors, with strong international collaboration patterns. The study further shows that fiber reinforcement significantly enhances impact resistance and energy absorption capacity. These findings provide valuable insights for future research directions and support the development of safer and more sustainable infrastructure aligned with SDGs 9 and 11.
