Silos structural response to blast loading

• Structural response of reinforced concrete silos to blast loads. CONWEP and Coupled Eulerian – Lagrangian methods for load simulation. Nonlinear dynamic analysis with damage-based criteria. Strain rate material properties. Blast energy absorbed by the silos. Extensive research work has been conducted study structural behavior various static types; namely grain compression phases inside thermal However, very few investigations were related effect different loads on silos, especially shock The aim this is evaluate due massive Beirut explosion that occurred August 04, 2020 considered as a case in engineering approach numerical non-linear finite element modeling Due uncertainty exploded mass, magnitude defined model generates same damages sways recorded site. models are based data (geometrical properties), use Conventional Weapons Effects Loading (CONWEP), Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) generate In addition, damage standing assessed, final recommendations stated. results define state remaining
