Description

In the recent past in major cities all over the world, public structures are vulnerable to blast loads caused by explosions either accidentally or intentionally. The purposeful causes are not on solidified military targets however on significant regular civilian structures, similar to business, monetary and urban focuses. The study of fortified solid Ground + 3 Storied structure exposed to impact burdens have picked up significance, as routinely the strengthened solid structures are not intended for shoot stacks the same number of the stacking codes due not command for the equivalent and because of the way that measuring the greatness of the impact burden is hard to appraise. In any case, the structures are defenceless to harm from the blast. To secure the life of individuals and to limit the harm to the structure, it has turned out to be basic to consider the impact of impact stacks too notwithstanding the customary burdens, considered according to the overarching codes, during the investigation and plan of every single open structure. The charge weights of the explosive used on the structure are 8kg, 16 kg and 24kg. The equivalent blast pressure subjected on the structure is determined, to study its corresponding effects for stand-off distances of 3000 mm and 6000mm using surface blast load. The behavior of the structure is studied by varying the parameters and verified which of these parameters can be critical to the performance of the structure. The response of the ground floor + 3 upper storied reinforced concrete skeletal structure is studied for understanding the variation of the displacements, strains and stresses for the parameters considered. The 3D modeling of structure and structural components were produced by utilizing of PTC CREO 3.0. Discretization (meshing) of structural also its components were used in HYPERMESH. Static analysis and blast load analysis was carried out using ANSYS. A reinforced concrete structure can be designed and constructed to passively control the effects of the blast loads on the structure by including steel fibers to the concrete to improve its performance by reducing the deflections and the strain rates based on the standoff distance and the charge weight used in the explosion. 2019, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc..
