TY - CONF A1 - Agasty, Amit A1 - Rosenbusch, Sjard Mathis A1 - Costard, René T1 - Numerical analysis of structures under blast loading N2 - Blast tests are indispensable for investigations of accidental or intentional explosions and to evaluate the level of protection to people and equipment within critical infrastructure. Current capabilities for detailed blast effects assessment are limited to performing full-scale field testing, which, for complex scenarios, are highly resource intensive. In this regard, reliable numerical simulations are an effective alternative option. A discussion of the scope and challenges of using numerical tools for a technical-safety assessment of reinforced concrete structures under blast loading is presented. Different coupling possibilities between shock wave simulations and structural simulations with the help of practical examples is given. An outlook on the development of new methods for structural simulations currently being researched at BAM concludes the presentation.
