Abstract
This paper explores the performances of a finite element simulation including four concrete models applied to a full-scale reinforced concrete beam subjected to blast loading.Field test data has been used to compare model results for each case.The numerical modelling has been,carried out using the suitable code LS-DYNA.This code integrates blast load routine(CONWEP)for the explosive description and four different material models for the concrete including:Karagozian & Case Concrete,Winfrith,Continuous Surface Cap Model and Riedel-Hiermaier-Thoma models,with concrete meshing based on 10,15,and 20 mm.Six full-scale beams were tested:four of them used for the initial calibration of the numerical model and two more tests at lower scaled distances.For calibration,field data obtained employing pressure and accelerometers transducers were compared with the results derived from the numerical simulation.Damage surfaces and the shape of rupture in the beams have been used as references for comparison.Influence of the meshing on accelerations has been put in evidence and for some models the shape and size of the damage in the beams produced maximum differences around 15％.In all cases,the variations between material and mesh models are shown and discussed.
