In this tutorial, the Simulation air blast explosion over a steel-UHPC-steel sandwich composite beam stud connectors in Abaqus has been studied. The two steel plates with studs are modeled as three-dimensional solid part. The UHPC is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part as a core of the sandwich beam. You ...

Insulated concrete sandwich panels are comprised of two outer concrete wythes and an inner layer of foam insulation. They have been increasingly used because of their advantages of light weight and energy efficiency. Various shear connectors can be used to connect the two outer concrete wythes. More recently, Fiber-Reinforced Polymer ...
