In this tutorial Simulation of p-section concrete beams under contact explosion(CEL) conditions in Abaqus has been studied. Reinforced concrete bridges are the most common type of bridges and have a simple structure, low cost and long durability. Among these bridges, reinforced concrete bridges composed of p-section bridge components are among the most widely used bridge types and are used in road bridges and as railway bridges. In recent years, due to the threat of terrorism, the ability of bridges to resist accidental explosions has become a focus and challenge of bridge structure design. Due to the bearing structure design of p-section reinforced concrete beams, which have different characteristics from those of conventional concrete slabs and concrete beams, it is of great significance to study and analyze the anti-accident explosive performance of p-section reinforced concrete beams.You can see a figure of the assembled parts at below
The air is modeled as ideal gas,TNT with JWL equation,beam with Johnson-Cook plasticity and concrete with Johnson-Holmquist material model.Dynamic explicit procedure is appropriate for this type of analysis. Volume fraction method is used to model Eulerian material in the model like TNT and air. After the simulation the blast wave propagated into the air and causes a huge damage inside the concrete structure. You can see some figures of this simulation at below
