Load-Impulse Diagrams for Protected Facility Assessment
Load-impulse (P-I) diagrams are graphic tools for quickly assessing the potential damage to building components caused by dynamic loading that were introduced in the early 1980s. The method presented in this paper is based on a fully nonlinear dynamic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system approach and reliable dynamic behavioral and constitutive models. The damage levels in the approach are user-defined behavioral criteria within the program, such as, initial cracking, rebar yielding, strain hardening, or steel fracture. Reinforced concrete beams, reinforced concrete slabs, buried reinforced concrete boxes, and wood frame panels were evaluated under transient loadings to generate load-impulse diagrams for both flexural and various shear modes of response. This study showed that the method provided accurate load-impulse diagrams, as compared with test data.
