Numerical Simulation of Masonry Walls Subjected to Blast Loads

Abstract:

Much effort has been devoted to studying the blast properties of masonry infilled panels due to recent increasing accidental blast events. In this paper, the blast properties of the masonry infilled walls were analyzed with the finite element program LS-DYNA by the way of distinctive consideration of the bricks and mortar material in contrast to the experimental data. The numerical results have a good agreement with experimental data. The reliability and efficiency of this method in predicting the dynamic responses of masonry walls to blast loads was proven.
