Numerical Simulation on the Overturn Process of Towering Reinforced Concrete Chimney during Directional Demolition Blasting

Abstract:

On the basis of plastic-elastic mechanics and finite element method, one selected 150m high reinforced concrete chimney was taken as the target in this paper to analyze the mechanical condition of directional demolition blasting, the capsizing time, the internal force of support abutment and constitutive relation of the chimney during directional blasting. A finite element model of the towering reinforced concrete chimney was established through separated modeling method by finite element analysis software LS-DYNA of ANSYS. Results show that the constitutive relation given by this paper conforms to reality. The finite element model of the towering reinforced concrete chimney established by separated modeling method is reasonable. The real overturn process, capsizing location and capsizing length of towering reinforced concrete chimney during directional demolition blasting are agree with that of numerical simulation.
