Modeling of Steel-Reinforced Concrete Panels under Blast Loads

Abstract:

In this study, a finite element model is developed for simulation of the structural behaviour of steel-reinforced concrete panels under blast loading using LS-DYNA. Pure Lagrangian formulation is applied in the finite element analysis, and the strain rate effect is taken into account in the material models of both concrete and steel. The finite element model is validated by comparing the computed results with experimental test results from the literature. Structural behaviour of concrete panel with different parameters under blast loading is also investigated. Keywords: Blast resistance; Finite element model; Reinforced concrete panel; Strain rate effect
