Prediction of 3-D Blast Loading on a Partially-Open Industrial Building: Feasibility Study

摘要

The modified 3-D HULL hydrocode is used to calculate the blast loading on a partially-open, industrial-type building struck by a 32.8 kPa (4.75 psi) overpressure shock at oblique incidence. The feasibility of predicting the net unsteady loading on the front and back walls of the building is demonstrated. The predicted loading appears to be qualitatively correct; further studies will be necessary to assess the quantitative results and extend the analysis to other types of structures. (Author)
