With a view to study the response to impacts, epoxy-fly ash systems, with filler particles treated with silane material to their surface were fabricated. The test coupons made from the cured thermoset cast slabs were subjected to impact in an instrumented test set up, where, provision existed for recording both load and total energy absorbed with respect to time. The investigation shows that the crack path shift was highest for unreinforced ones, which, display river marks.
