In modern society, the frequency of explosion accidents is gradually increasing, which brings a great threat to the safety of people's lives and property and social stability. Explosive loads are extremely destructive, with huge energy and powerful impact force released in an instant, capable of causing serious damage to buildings and infrastructure. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study explosion protection measures in depth and improve the damage resistance of buildings and infrastructure under explosion loads. The traditional underground dispersed layer can reduce the impact of blast load on the structure to a certain extent, but with the continuous improvement of protection requirements, its limitations are gradually revealed. For example, the protection of underground dispersed layers may be less than ideal in some complex explosion situations, and their performance is susceptible to environmental factors such as salinity, consolidation, precipitation and ice, resulting in reduced protection effectiveness. In order to find a more effective solution for explosion protection, the idea of replacing the underground dispersion layer with lead dampers was proposed. As a new type of protective device, lead damper has unique advantages. Lead has good plastic deformation ability, and can absorb a large amount of energy through its own deformation under the action of explosion load, so as to effectively reduce the impact of explosion on the structure. In addition, lead dampers can be customized to meet specific engineering needs, allowing them to better adapt to different explosion scenarios and structural types. The purpose of this study is to further investigate the protective effect of lead dampers instead of underground dispersed layers under blast loads. Through a combination of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experimental research, the performance of the lead damper is comprehensively evaluated, and its response mechanism under blast load is analyzed, as well as the advantages and disadvantages compared with the underground dispersed layer. At the same time, the influence of the design parameters of the lead damper on the protection effect will be studied, so as to provide scientific basis and guidance for its application in practical engineering. Through this study, it is expected to provide a new and more effective means of protection for explosion protection engineering, and improve the safety and reliability of buildings and infrastructure under explosion loads. This will not only help reduce the losses caused by explosion accidents and ensure the safety of people's lives and property, but also contribute to the stability and sustainable development of society.
