Numerical Analysis on the Damage of the Explosion Pit at Kumamoto University

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study investigates effects of impact action and its damage to structures. Here, we utilized as our object of study the explosion pit located at the Shock Wave and Condensed Matter Research Center of Kumamoto University. We conducted numerical analysis on damage to the explosion pit to elucidate how small cracks on the surface of reinforced concrete of the pit arose. Herein, ANSYS AUTODYN refers to the numerical analysis software utilized.
