TY - CONF A1 - Scheidemann, Robert A1 - Qiao, Linan A1 - Müller, Karsten T1 - Comparison of experimental results and numerical simulations of penetration tests with damping concrete N2 - The shock absorbing material damping concrete is for the foundation in dry interim storage facilities for radioactive waste in Germany. In case of a potential cask drop damping concrete minimizes the mechanical loads to the cask. In course of safety analyzes this accident scenario is considered by numerical simulations using the finite element method. To get reliable results of numerical simulations a suitable material model is needed to take the characteristics of damping concrete into account. Due to the lack of sufficient material knowledge a research project was started to characterize the material’s behavior under different load conditions. This paper presents the test program to analyze the material behavior of damping concrete which is characterized by large volume change and strain rate hardening dependence. The determined Parameters were used to adapt an existing material model of the FE-code ABAQUS®. This model has to handle the mechanical damage behavior of damping concrete which occurs under compression and shear loads during a potential cask drop. To verify the material model numerical simulations are compared with dynamic penetration tests, which were conducted with specimens assembled similar to the real application of the damping concrete footings. The transferability of the material model to a real accident scenario was verified by a drop test with a full-scale cask on a damping concrete footing.

An accidental scenario in German interim storage facilities is the drop from a crane during the handling operation. To reduce the mechanical loads to the cask a shock absorbing footing with high energy absorption capability is used in these areas. In order to analyse and evaluate such impact scenarios of casks, numerical simulations are performed. For a comprehensive simulation of an accidental scenario the behaviour of the damping concrete footing has to be taken into account as well and therefor a material model is needed. Material parameters under different loading conditions are the basis for a numerical model. For that reason a government funded research project (Kasparek, 2012) was conducted to characterise damping concrete under quasi-static as well as highly dynamic impact loading conditions. The performed tests include compression tests with and without lateral constraint small-scale and midscale penetration tests with different indenters, and finally a full-scale drop test onto a damping concrete footing.

T1 - Simulation of damping concrete under severe impact loads using a crushable foam model with damage mechanisms N2 - The deformation and damage behaviour of damping concrete under impact loading conditions is investigated experimentally and numerically. The material model is based on the assumption of crushable foam with volumetric or isotropic hardening combined with ductile and shear damage criteria. Model parameters are determined in static and dynamic compression tests of confined cubic specimens. The derived material model is validated by numerical simulation of penetration tests. The static and dynamic penetration of indenters into uniform as well as assembled bricks made of damping concrete is discussed. Finally, the successful calculation of a large-scale drop test with a heavy cask-like test object onto a realistic damping concrete foundation is demonstrated.

T1 - Crushable foam model with pressure and stress-triaxiality dependent damage mechanisms for damping concrete N2 - Damping concrete with high energy absorption capability consists of a cement matrix with embedded small polystyrene balls and is investigated experimentally and numerically under high static compression with and without clamping. A material model is derived which describes the fundamental effects of damping concrete like non-linear elastic-plastic behaviour, volume change, volume strain dependent hardening as well as shear failure with an adequate description of damage initiation and evolution. The suggested material model is validated by simulation of penetration tests.
