Impact strength of self-compacted concrete is a field of interest, mostly when the
concrete is produced from sustainable materials. This research's main objective is to clarify the
ability to use two types of Portland limestone cement (Karasta and Tasluja) in self compacted
concrete under impact loading, further to the economic and environmental benefits of the
limestone cement. The impact loading was applied by a low-speed test, using the drop ball on
concrete. Moreover, the study reveals the resistance of the grids reinforced concrete to impact
loading by using polymer grid, and steel grid reinforced concrete slabs. Mixes reinforced by steel
mesh had the highest results, indicating that the steel mesh was more robust because it had
