Behavior of RC Buildings under Blast Loading: Case Study

In recent years, civil wars and terror activities have caused blast-loading effects on reinforced concrete buildings, resulting in catastrophic human material damage. When a building is exposed to blast load, very high air pressure affects the within short duration. To decide reconstruction or retrofit of loading, behavior under loading should be investigated. this paper case study RC during Libyan war last years was Nonlinear analysis results indicate that failure mode localized most structural elements remain elastic after explosions. The presents, description details, tests, finite element model nonlinear results.
