Abstract
Basalt fiber reinforced plastic (BFRP) bars can replace steel bars in concrete protective structures because of their advantages of corrosion resistance and high load-bearing capacity. In this paper, the BFRP-bar reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) panels (BFRP-AACPs) were designed and prepared. Based on close-in explosion experiments, the dynamic responses and failure modes of the BFRP-AACPs were revealed. Through the quasi-static three-point bending experiment, the residual load capacity of each BFRP-AACP was evaluated, which can quantitatively reveal the damage degree of the BFRP-AACP after explosion. Calculated by the equivalent static load method, the critical scaled distance of the designed panel is 2.08 m/kg1/3, which provides a design basis for the application of the BFRP-AACP.
