Field testing as well as finite element simulations are among the techniques available to engineers in the understanding of the structural behavior against blast loading. As blast testing of complex scenarios can be very resource intensive, tests are generally performed for simplified scenarios. Numerical tools can be used to model these scenarios in order to get a better insight into blast loading, structural response and the resulting damage to the structure. In the next steps, the simplified scenario is successively modified in numerical simulations to incorporate complexities that cannot be covered in blast testing experiments. One of the conditions for this approach to work is that the original simplified numerical simulation is valid. The scopes and challenges encountered in such a validation are the focus of this presentation. A relatively ‘simple’ field test of a horizontal reinforced concrete (RC) slab subjected to blast loading is taken as an example for validation of the performance of numerical tools. The blast test incorporated various measurement techniques to quantify the blast load as well as the behavior of the RC slab. Blast load was measured using flush-mounted piezoelectric pressure gauges, whereas acceleration sensors and fiber-optic sensor cables were used to characterize the dynamic behavior of the slab under blast loading. Additionally, damage characteristics were ascertained also using fiber-optic sensing. The application of such measurement techniques, along with different numerical software available for the analysis of the scenario in question, demonstrate the scope of our contribution.

Conducting large-scale field tests for complex scenarios is very resource intensive. Reliable small-scale experiments are a promising alternative. However, the scaling laws for the design of reinforced concrete structures under blast loads are not sufficiently established. In our research work, a consortium made up of three BAM departments, focuses on reinforced concrete structures that are suitable for the standardization of scaled blast tests. As part of the feasibility study, blast tests were carried out on test specimens of different sizes on the BAM Test Site for Technical Safety (TTS). Various reinforced concrete plates were tested and subjected to different blast loads. The blast tests included various measurement techniques to quantify the blast load and the behavior of the reinforced concrete plate. The blast load was measured with flush-mounted piezoelectric pressure gauges, while accelerometers and embedded fiber optic sensor cables were used to characterize the dynamic behavior of the plate under blast loading. In addition, damage characteristics were also determined using distributed fiber optic sensing. The application of these measurement techniques as well as the use of different numerical software tools offer the possibility to verify or adapt the scaling laws.

When it comes to the challenges, it begins with proper instrumentation of the test specimen followed by the data processing. For numerical modelling, geometric conditions with appropriate boundary constraints, physical conditions such as the configuration of the rebars, as well as material parameters add to this challenge. The issues of choosing appropriate material models and comparison of results with multiple software tools will be discussed. This discussion forms the basis for a coherent approach to technical-safety assessment of blast effects on structures in its broader sense.

The wave propagation in homogeneous or layered soils (the transmission) is calculated by an integration in wavenumber domain. The wave amplitudes at different distances and for different frequencies will be analysed for the following situations. 1. The horizontal propagation from a surface point to a surface point constitutes the basic rules. 2. The horizontal propagation from a source point at depth to a receiver point at depth which is related to a building with a deep basement or on a pile foundation. 3. The propagation from depth to the surface, which is the normal case for free-field measurements, has some different characteristics, for example a weaker attenuation with the horizontal distance from the source, which can be approximated by the full-space solution and the reflection rules for incident waves. The emission from a tunnel structure has been calculated by a finite-element model of the tunnel combined with a boundary-element model of the soil giving the reduction compared to a point-load excitation. The immission has been analysed by finite-element models of tunnel-soil-building systems for examples of research and consultancy work. Measurement results from a high-speed and a metro line confirm some of the established rules.

The VERBATIM project - Verification of the buckling detection and behaviour of large monopiles - aimed to investigate buckling phenomena related to both the plastic deformation of the pile tip during installation and the buckling of the embedded pile near the seabed. Numerical models were developed and validated on the basis of extensive tests. This enables a better understanding of the buckling behaviour in order to reduce the wall thickness, which allows cost savings in the amount of steel and the development of safer and optimised structures. The previous design procedures were able to ensure the successful installation of the monopiles. However, as the size of monopiles continues to increase, the development of improved design methods for safe and cost-effective foundations is becoming increasingly important. The presentation provides an overview of the investigations carried out and the results.

This component has a characteristic spectrum which is related to the axle sequence and the speed of the train. Its attenuation with distance is weaker than the attenuation for higher frequencies, and it always dominates the far-field ground vibration. Narrow-band frequency analyses clearly show that this ground vibration component is due to the static axle loads. Axle box vibrations have a different characteristic where the first out-of-roundness of the wheels is the only remarkable low-frequency component. Therefore, the dynamic axle loads from wheel and track irregularities are not the reason for the strong ground vibration component. The moving static axle loads generate the quasi-static response of the soil at very low frequencies and at very near distances. A part of the original impulse spectrum is scattered when it propagates through an inhomogeneous ballast and soil with a randomly varying stiffness. The axle impulses are smoother for a higher bending stiffness or a lower support stiffness (under sleeper pads, under ballast mats) of the track. This mitigation of the ground vibration will be demonstrated by measurements at three sites in Switzerland as well as the characteristic of the soil and axle-box vibrations.

Different intact and damaged slab tracks have been investigated theoretically and experimentally for train passages and hammer impacts. The following damages have been considered: The loss of contact between the sleeper and the track slab, between the track slab and the base slab, and between the base slab and the base layer. At first, a slab track with a gap between the track slab and the base layer has been calculated by the combined finite-element boundary-element method which correctly incorporates the behaviour of the infinite soil. The basic results are the track displacements of the rail, the track slab, and the base layer along the track which are caused by a single axle load. These solutions are properly superposed for to get the complete train load. The influence of track and soil parameters and of the track damage has been analysed. For the intact track, the compliance of the soil is dominant whereas the track bending stiffness becomes more important for the damaged track. By comparing the calculated results with the measurements, the length of the gap could be quantified. A slab track with a loose sleeper (without contact to the supporting track slab) was analysed by the transfer function between the displacements and the hammer force (receptance functions) where a resonance appeared in case of the damage. Differences between the different track elements confirmed the detection of the damage. A floating slab track with a thin rubber layer has been investigated for a possible gap between the base slab and the base layer. The behaviour of the intact track has been calculated by a wavenumber-domain method, and the same behaviour has been found in the measurements at several track sections, indicating that there is no damage. Finally, a floating slab track with steel springs and viscous fluid dampers has been measured in the Tongji laboratory. The modes of the floating track slab and the transfer function with corresponding resonances have been calculated and successfully compared with results from wheelset drop tests.

A simple modal analysis which is based on the transformed and weighted system equations has been tested for an automotive test car and for many floors in many buildings to get some rules for their natural frequency and damping. Moreover, six neighboured equal, weakly coupled, wooden floors in a castle have been measured by ambient and hammer excitation, and a special method to extract the different mode shapes of the closely spaced natural frequencies has been developed and tested. Different foundations, for which the soil-structure interaction is generally important, have been measured and compared with finite-element boundary-element models of varying soil properties. Similarly by FEBEM calculations, damages in railway tracks have been identified from flexibility functions (frequency response functions) and from the moving-load responses to normal train operation. Rail and foot bridges have been measured during train passages and by quasi-static tests with moving vehicles. The repeatability of the inclinometer measurements has been checked for different passages, passage directions, and measurement campaigns at a six-span foot bridge. Two rail bridges at the Hanover-Würzburg high-speed line have been measured and evaluated for integrity and for the train- and speed-dependent bridge resonances. The relation between the multi-axle and the single-axle excitation can be solved in frequency domain by the axle-sequence spectrum of the vehicle or the whole train. The single axle response has been used to identify track and bridge damages in laboratory and in situ.

The prediction of the wave propagation from a railway line (completely physics based for surface lines, physics-based machine learning for tunnel lines) 2. The track behaviour for the emission of train-induced ground vibration (physics based for homogeneous soil, machine learning for layered soil) 3. Track damage detection and quantification from frequency response functions and moving load responses 4. Bridge damage detection and localisation from modal analysis and moving load 5. The use of axle-box acceleration for the identification of track/sub-soil condition and bridge resonances. The prediction of railway vibration usually needs time-consuming finite element, boundary element and wavenumber domain calculations. For a user-friendly prediction software however, fast calculations are needed. Several time-consuming detailed calculations have been used to develop simpler and fast models for the surface railway lines. The more challenging prediction from tunnel lines will be attacked by purely mathematical and by physics-informed machine learning. The dynamic stiffnesses of isolated or un-isolated railway tracks from detailed calculations with a continuous soil have been approximated with the simpler Winkler soil. The vehicle-track resonance (P2 resonance) rules the effect of the mitigation measures, and it can also be used for the on-board monitoring of the track and sub-soil condition. For the identification of track damage such as gaps between sleepers, track slabs and layers, detailed models with a continuous soil have been updated to get the best fit to the measured frequency response functions from hammer tests and the deformation pattern from the moving load response. Whereas the track damage can be locally identified, this is more difficult for bridges where the modal analysis gives mainly global information. The influence lines of the inclination for statically passing vehicles (locomotive, truck, compaction roller) have been used to localise bridge damage (stiffness variations). The on-board monitoring of rail bridges needs special conditions (regular trains with special speeds) to excite and measure the bridge resonance.

In general, an amplification at low frequencies, an amplification for the floor resonances, and a reduction for higher frequencies can be observed. Most of the measurement examples show a flexible behaviour along the height of the buildings. The prediction of building vibration consists typically of three steps. At first, the dynamic stiffness of the foundation and secondly the kinematic soil-structure interaction has to be calculated for example by the combined finite-element boundary-element meth-od. The stiffness of the foundation reduces the incoming waves (the kinematic interaction). Finally, the inertial interaction of the building with the foundation soil is calculated by the conventional finite ele-ment method where the dynamic foundation stiffness from the first step is added at the bottom of the building. The building on the compliant soil has a fundamental vertical resonance usually below 10 Hz. A parametrical variation clearly shows the influence of the elasticity of the building on this reso-nance frequency and amplitude. Moreover for column-type office buildings, the low-frequency floor resonances can further reduce this fundamental frequency. A 1-dimensional model has been estab-lished which can well approximate the behaviour of the 3-dimensional building models. It is used to demonstrate the effect of a base isolation with soft elements at the foundation. A rigid building model clearly over-estimates the isolation effect, which is smaller for a model with flexible walls, columns and floors. An even simpler model of an infinitely high building is suggested for the mitigation effect, and the resonance frequency of the rigid building should be replaced by a better performance indica-tor, which is based on the impedance ratio of the isolation and the wall and which can be also ex-pressed as a characteristic frequency.
