Responses of curved steel-concrete-steel sandwich shells subjected to blast loading
Abstract The blast response behaviors of curved Steel-Concrete-Steel (SCS) sandwich shells were investigated using nonlinear finite element method. The accuracy of the numerical model was verified against the available field blast test results. The numerical results showed that shear connectors played a vital role in bonding the face plates and concrete core and therefore improving the blast resistant capacity of curved SCS sandwich shell. In addition, different failure modes for the curved SCS sandwich shell under close- and far-field blast loading were observed, i.e., separation of rear plate from concrete core and buckling of face plates for the shell under close- and far-field blast loading, respectively. The effects of rise height (or rise to span ratio) and rear to front plate thickness ratio on the blast responses of curved SCS sandwich shells were also studied. Numerical results showed that the damage of curved SCS sandwich shell could be reduced by increasing rise height and rear to front plate thickness ratio. Moreover, the energy absorption efficiency of concrete core also showed increase with increasing rear to front plate thickness ratio.
Highlights Curved SCS sandwich shells under blast loading were numerically studied. Different failure modes for the shell under close- and far-field blast loading. Rise to span ratio of 0.375 was suggested for the curved SCS sandwich shell. The damage decreased with increasing rear to front plate thickness ratio.
