摘要
The dynamic response and damage pattern of RC beams under long-duration near-planar blast waves were studied by conducting field tests and numerical simulations. To obtain the long-duration near-planar blast waves, a near-planar blast waves generation apparatus based on the plane multi-charge explosion technique was designed. The field tests on four simply-supported RC beams with the dimension of 2 500 mm × 200 mm × 200 mm were conducted, in which the magnitudes and durations of the near-planar blast loadings were varied within 0. 4-0. 7 MPa and 85-100 ms, respectively. Then, by adopting the structured-arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (SALE) solver and fluid-structure interaction algorithm implemented in the commercial finite element program LS-DYNA, the scenarios of the above test were simulated numerically. By comparing with the test data including the time histories of overpressure, rebar strain and displacement as well as post-blast structural damage, the accuracy of adopted finite element analyses approach was verified. The applicability of the equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF) approach in the specification UFC 3-340-02 to predict the maximal mid-span deflection was further verified. The results indicate that the feasibility of long-duration near-planar explosion loading generating apparatus is proved; the RC beams exhibit the typical bending damage pattern in considered scenarios. The finite element analyses approach by using SALE in this paper applies to multi-points charges conditions. The SDOF method underestimates the maximum displacement of the RC beam at mid-span. For the considered blast scenarios, the dynamic amplification factors for concrete and rebar are recommended as 1. 05 and 1. 02, respectively. © 2023 Science Press. All rights reserved.
