Dynamic Elasto-Plastic Model for Reinforced Concrete Members

摘要

The object of the investigations was to ascertain whether combustible substances involving an explosion hazard should be permitted to be transported through under-water road tunnels. Attention was more particularly focused on the behavior of the tunnel roof under explosion load conditions. First, the load-resisting capacity of a reinforced concrete section under impulsive load was investigated, with particular reference to the effect of shear on the failure load. Next, a generally-applicable numerical beam model was developed with which a dynamic response in the plastic range can be simulated.
