Numerical Analysis of Lateral Inertial Confinement Effects on Impact Test of Concrete Compressive Material Properties

Yifei Hao, Hong Hao, Zhongxian Li · 1 Mar 2010

Dynamic material properties, in particular the dynamic strength, of concrete material are usually obtained by conducting laboratory tests such as drop-weight test and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test. It is commonly agreed that a few parameters associated with stress wave propagation will affect the test results, including the lateral and axial inertial effect, end…

Numerical Evaluation of the Influence of Aggregates on Concrete Compressive Strength at High Strain Rate

Yifei Hao, Hong Hao · 1 Jun 2011

The dynamic strength of concrete materials is usually obtained by conducting laboratory tests such as drop-weight test or split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test. It is widely accepted that the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete and concrete-like material increases with strain rate. Many empirical relations of concrete material dynamic increase factor (DIF), which are proposed…

Plastic Deformation, Failure and Energy Absorption of Sandwich Structures with Metallic Cellular Cores

Feng Zhu, Guoxing Lu, Dong Ruan et al. · 1 Dec 2010

Cellular metals with stochastic, 2D or 3D periodic microstructures can sustain large plastic deformation at almost constant stress. Due to such excellent energy absorption capability, cellular metals are very suited to be used as the core of sandwich structures, which have been applied widely to the areas of aerospace and aeronautical design, the automotive manufacturing,…

Air-blast and ground shockwave parameters, shallow underground blasting, on the ground and buried shallow underground blast-resistant shelters: A review

S. M. Anas, Mehtab Alam, Mohammad Umair · 7 Oct 2021

Weak political systems and poor governance in certain developing countries are found to have a war-like environment where structures are being targeted by blasts and bombs. Industrial blasts due to frail know-how and mishandlings are also quite common. Recent accidental explosions like that occurred at the Beirut Port, Lebanon (August 2020); ammunition depot in the…

Behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer-strengthened reinforced concrete beams under static and impact loads

Thong M. Pham, Hong Hao · 14 Jul 2016

This study investigates the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer-strengthened reinforced concrete beams under static and impact loads. The experimental program includes six beams tested in static loads and seven beams tested against impact loads. Longitudinal fiber-reinforced polymer strips and fiber-reinforced polymer U-wraps were used to strengthen these beams. The section of four beams was modified to…
