Modeling Blast Loading on Buried Reinforced Concrete Structures with Zapotec

DOI:https://doi.org/10.1155/2008/719215· OSTI ID:1198074

A coupled Euler‐Lagrange solution approach is used to model the response of a buried reinforced concrete structure subjected to a close‐in detonation of a high explosive charge. The coupling algorithm is discussed along with a set of benchmark calculations involving detonations in clay and sand.
