Analysis Of Blast Resistant Structure

The response of reinforced concrete buildings subjected to blast loading under variable mass of TNT and different statical system will be discussed. The study was carried out using the finite element program (ABAQUS) by using solid slab model. The plastic behavior of steel reinforced bars and concrete has been incorporated. The results obtained from the two models are in terms of Von-Mises stresses, deflection and concrete damage against varying mass of TNT. The results indicate that using double reinforced mesh has great influence on reinforced concrete slabs to withstand blast loads and the damage in concrete happened under blast loads in solid slab system.
