The Similarity Law of Internal-Blast Wave Propagation in the Concrete

Abstract:

Concrete mechanical properties under dynamic load such as blast and impact are very complex. Shock wave propagation law and damage effect in the concrete were studied numerically in the paper by using TNT explosive ignition and growth model, concrete dynamic damage model, and SPH method. And shock wave properties of different mass explosives in the concrete were analyzed with the similarity theory. The result shows that TNT shock wave propagation law meets the internal-blast similarity law. Peak pressure, positive pressure impulse, maximum velocity and maximum acceleration in the concrete decrease with the increase of scaled distance. And time needed for reaching peak pressure increases linearly with the increase of scaled distance. A theoretical basis of structure and protection design for constructions is achieved in the paper.
