Title: Modeling blast loading on buried reinforced concrete structures with Zapotec.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:973358

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.
