Numerical study of RC slabs under two-point contact explosion load

Abstract

As an important bearing component of bridge, bridge deck is the key to bridge passage. In this paper, a solid model of reinforced concrete slab is established in LS-DYNA software, and the parameters are designed as the amount of explosive and the distance between explosives. The numerical simulation of two-point explosion test is carried out, and the damage mechanism and dynamic response of reinforced concrete slab under two-point explosion load are proposed. The results show that there is a phenomenon of energy accumulation in two-point contact explosion. At the same charge, the failure characteristics and dynamic response of RC slabs are related to the distance between the blast points. When the distance is small (30cm), the stress wave encounters and superposition strengthens between the blast points. When the spacing is large (60cm), the stress waves do not meet between the burst points, but reach the back burst surface and the side of the plate at the same time, and the damage is serious near the side of the plate, and the peak acceleration is small.
