  2. 1. Concrete Structures Subjected to Blast Loading

    Author : Jonas Ekström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamic response; numerical modelling; spalling; blast load; stain-softening; wave propagation; concrete; transverse reverse loading; cyclic crack propagation;

    Abstract : The interest for building safety with regards to highly dynamic events such as close by explosion has accelerated after the recent decades of terrorist attacks. The interest has expanded from civil defence shelters and pure military targets to also include civil buildings used for different civil functions. 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

  5. 3. Analysis of Excavation Damage, Rock Mass Characterisation and Rock Support Design using Drilling Monitoring

    Author : Jeroen van Eldert; Håkan Schunnesson; Daniel Johansson; David Saiang; Thomas Dalmalm; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Blast damage; Excavation Damage Zone; EDZ; Measurement While Drilling; MWD; Rock support; Rock mass characterisation; Tunnelling; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : Prior to an underground excavation a site investigation is carried out. This includes reviewing and analysing existing data, field data collected through outcrop mapping, drill core logging and geophysical investigations. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Numerical simulations of blast loaded steel plates for improved vehicle protection

    Author : Björn Zakrisson; Gerald Nurick; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : In the past decade, there has been an increasing demand from governments for high level protections for military vehicles against explosives. However, the design and validation of protection is a time consuming and expensive process, where previous experience plays an important role. READ MORE
