Empirical Approaches to Calculate External Blast Load on Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modeling structures response to external blast loads is studied in this paper. A new model is developed based on the experimental data in literature UFC (unified facilities criteria) 3-340-2. The new model differs from the model which is available in LS-DYNA as take into account new abacuses for reflecting coefficients, leading to more precise load especially at great incidence.
