Analysis of Damage Factors of Reinforced Concrete Frame Under Internal Explosion

To explore the mechanisms of the damage to reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures subjected to internal explosions, this paper establishes a precise finite element model (FEM) of an RC frame utilizing ANSYS/LS-DYNA software 14.5. The influence of four important damage factors on the degree of str...

description To explore the mechanisms of the damage to reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures subjected to internal explosions, this paper establishes a precise finite element model (FEM) of an RC frame utilizing ANSYS/LS-DYNA software 14.5. The influence of four important damage factors on the degree of structural damage is systematically analyzed. Specifically, the vertical displacement at the top center of the frame serves as the primary evaluation metric, while the four damage factors are treated as independent variables. An empty column is incorporated as an error term, facilitating a five-factor, four-level orthogonal optimization design for the simulation experiments. Based on this design, a variance analysis of the simulation outcomes is conducted. The results show that by increasing the reinforcement ratio of the beam section and reducing the charge weight, when the explosion point is located at the higher part of the building floor and near the external window, the vertical displacement of the building after the internal explosion can be reduced. The order of the influence degree of each damage factor on the damage to the reinforced concrete frame structure is as follows: explosion floor, charge weight, beam section reinforcement ratio, and explosion horizontal position.
