Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidential Explosions. Volume 4. Reinforced Concrete Design

Abstract

This report details design procedures for structures subjected to the effects of accidental explosions. This volume is concerned with the design of above ground blast resistant concrete structure. Procedures are presented to obtain the dynamic strength of the various components and for the design of conventional and laced-reinforced concrete slabs as well as beams and columns. Procedures are also given for the brittle mode response of structural elements. The occurrence of spalling and scabbing is treated. In addition procedures are presented for post-failure fragment design and the resistance of concrete elements to primary fragment impact is considered. Required construction procedures are also discussed. Keywords: Columns; Static Properties; Fragment Impact; Shear; Flexural Strength.
