Abstract
The soil-structure interaction (SSI) decoupling is applied to simplify buried structure against internal blast load as spring effect. Shear failure, bending failure and combined failure modes are considered based on five transverse velocity profiles for the rigid-plastic structural element. The critical equations for shear and bending failure are derived respectively. Pressure-impulse diagrams are accordingly developed to assess damage of the buried structures against internal blast load. Comparison is done to show influences of soil-structure interaction and shear-to-bending strength ratio of a structural element. A case study is conducted to show the application of damage assessment to a reinforced concrete beam element of buried structure.
