The present work addresses the secondary debris from concrete slabs subjected to contact detonations. The secondary debris is propelled away from the concrete structure on its protective side and can cause severe injuries to persons and damage technical installations. The analysis is based on a series of experimental tests using a newly developed test setup. This setup allows a detailed analysis of the protective side of the concrete slab regarding the spatial velocity distribution of the secondary debris and the preceding fragmentation of the concrete. Both the spatial velocity distribution of the secondary debris and the geometry of the spalling crater are approximated by rotationally symmetric descriptions to derive the kinetic energy of the secondary debris. The derived kinetic energy of the secondary debris is then used for a quantitative evaluation of steel fibers in the concrete.
