Study on Dynamic Responses and Reinforcement of Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Blast Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

The terrorism and regional conflicts posed a threat to the world peace. Some terrorist explosions caused collapse of the buildings, which brought heavy tragedies to the human components. Therefore research on damage of structural components and resistance to damage have become the focus of our attention. Finite element software LS-DYNA was applied to simulating the response of reinforced concrete columns under blast loading. And analysis on dynamic response under different loading period was carried out. By studying on the stress and strain of reinforced concrete columns subjected to blast loading, the possible failure modes were obtained. In addition, the bearing capacities of concrete columns that are reinforced with carbon fiber and steel panel were analyzed, and the reinforcement effects were compared to provide reasonable reinforcement schemes for structures blast-resistant design.
