- Description
- This paper conducts a spatial reliability analysis to predict the likelihood and extent of damage for reinforced concrete columns under explosive blast loads. A reinforce concrete (RC) column is discretised into a large number of smaller elements and random field methods are used to simulate the variability of the column properties along its height. This study also investigates the influence of material and dimensional stationary and non-stationary random fields to model spatial variability. Monte-Carlo simulation and numerical methods are used to derive blast reliability curves for RC columns subject to explosive blast loads for a variety of threat scenarios, with the application of a high-fidelity physics-based computer program LS-DYNA to provide numerical simulations of the dynamic response and residual axial load-carrying capacity of RC columns.
