Numerical analysis of retrofitted RC slabs with CFRP strips under blast loading
This paper investigates the effectiveness of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) to improve the flexural resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under blast loads. Three simply supported RC slabs are subjected to blast loading using an explosive driven shock tube (EDST). The obtained experimental results of the RC slabs without and with EBR are presented and discussed with the aim of evaluating the influence of EBR on the blast response of the RC slabs. A numerical analysis is carried out using the finite element software LS-DYNA to complement the experimental results. The bond interface between CFRP strips and concrete is simulated with a specific contact algorithm including the normal and shear stresses at the interface with failure criteria. The numerical analysis shows good agreement with the experimental results for the maximum deflection at the mid span of the slabs and good prediction of the distribution of cracks. CFRP strips as EBR increase the flexural capacity and the stiffness of the slabs. A reduction in the blast induced maximum deflection is recorded for the slabs retrofitted with CFRP strips.
