Numerical Simulation of One-Way Reinforced Concrete Slabs Subjected to Blast Loadings

Abstract:

The damage and failure of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under blast loadings may cause significant hazards for frame systems even progressive collapse of whole structures. The numerical simulation of one-way RC slabs using the finite element explicit code LS-DYNA to estimate the dynamic response and failure mode of one-way RC slabs .Blast loadings are imposed on the top surface of slabs using a blast model based on conwep algorithm. Concrete was modeled using a concrete damage constitutive model considering strain rate effect, and reinforcement was modeled using a elastoplastic material type with kinematic hardening and strain rate effect. The numerical model is introduced in details and adopted to simulate the dynamic responses of RC slabs in reference test. The numerical model can match well with the test data, and thus the proposed numerical model can be considered as a valuable tool in assessing the deformation or failure mechanism and predicting the dynamic responses of one-way RC slabs subjected to blast loadings.
