Recent Experience Using Steel Studs to Construct Blast Resistant Walls in Reinforced Concrete Buildings
The design of blast resistant exterior walls for government facilities has become extremely important in recent years due to the increase in terrorist activities worldwide. The design of blast resistant exterior infill walls constructed with steel studs has garnered significant interest within the blast resistant design community. The merits of using steel studs for blast resistant walls include the high strength, stiffness, and ductility of steel, the common availability of steel studs, the ability to construct these walls using common construction tools, and the low skill level required to install the steel stud walls. Recent full-scale laboratory and field experiments have been conducted to understand the blast capacity of the steel stud walls and to validate the design of the anchorage of the steel studs to the concrete structure to develop the tensile membrane capacity of the steel stud wall. This paper will present the results of these laboratory and field experiments. In this paper, an analytical predictive model is used to develop an engineering design methodology.
