| As steel reinforced concrete has got wide range of applications, this project is an attempt to study the dynamic behavior of steel reinforced concrete subjected to blast and pressure loadings using a non-linear finite element code LS-DYNA (version 971). The aim of this project was to analyze various parameters of a steel reinforced concrete slab by validating three of the concrete material models in LS-DYNA.;The first part of the project consists of validating three concrete material models in LS-DYNA by applying boundary conditions on simple single elements. The next part consists of using these three concrete material models of LS-DYNA (version 971) for the study of blast and pressure load analysis on a steel reinforced concrete slab for two different strengths of concrete with two different mesh sizes.;The main purpose of this analysis was to provide the behavior of these concrete material models subjected to blast loads, which would be a better guide for future applications. |
