  2. 1. Concrete Structures Subjected to Fragment Impacts

    Author : Joosef Leppänen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; perforation; penetration; strain rate; scabbing; dynamic loading; fragment and projectile impacts; numerical simulations; spalling; concrete; blast wave;

    Abstract : As concrete is commonly used for protective structures, how a blast wave and fragment impacts from an explosion affect the concrete is an important issue. Concrete subjected to explosive loading responds very differently from statically loaded structures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Concrete Structures Subjected to Blast and Fragment Impacts - Numerical Simulations of Reinforced and Fibre-reinforced Concrete

    Author : Ulrika Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SDOF; Concrete; fragment impact; weapon effects; fibre-reinforced concrete; blast wave; numerical simulations; reinforced concrete;

    Abstract : Concrete is widely used in design of protective structures due to its good energy-absorbing characteristics under high pressures and, when properly reinforced, ductile behaviour. Nevertheless, the response of concrete structures subjected to severe dynamic loading differs from their static behaviour, on a structural level but also on a material level. READ MORE
