In this tutorial, the Simulation air blast explosion over the composite RC slab( UHPC and NSC) in Abaqus has been investigated. the Ultra High Performance Concrete(UHPC) and Normal Strength Concrete(NSC) are modeled as three-dimensional solid part. The UHPC is the upper face and the NSC is the bottom part. The steel bars are modeled as three-dimensional wire part. You can see figures of the assembled parts below
Recently, the use of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) for rehabilitation and strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been considered by researchers and engineers. The material properties of UHPC, such as super-high tensile and compressive strengths, ductility, and good durability make UHPC attractive for various engineering structures, especially in bridge engineering. The Concrete Damaged Plasticity is selected to model the tensile and compressive behavior under blast load separately. This model can also shows the tensile and compressive damage during the analysis for both concrete material. The material data are extracted from the the reference paper for both UHPC and NSC. For the steel material, elastic-plastic data is used. The dynamic explicit step is appropriate for this type of analysis. The steel bars are embedded inside the UHPC and NSC host. The cohesive behavior is assigned to the interface zone between the UHPC and NSC by using stiffness and damage parameters. The CONWEP air blast load procedure is considered by definition detonation point and the amount of the TNT. The pinned boundary condition is assigned to two sides of the slab and to obtain good results, the mesh should be fine
After the simulation all results such ass stress, strain, tensile and compressive damage, displacement, and … are available. You can see some figures for the results below
