Reinforced Concrete Response to Near Field Explosions
Abstract
From a review of experimental test results for concrete slabs subjected to conventional blast loading, various failure mechanisms and their relationship to scaled breach distance are documented. Analytical studies demonstrate the failure of membrane action when included with the rigid flexural analysis of structural response. For more intense blast pressure intensities, procedures available in the literature are described.
