Numerical investigation of steel-concrete composite (SCC) beam subjected to combined blast-impact loading

Existing literatures on combined effects of blast-impact loadings on steel-concrete composite beams are limited. In this study, behavior of steel-concrete composite beam subjected to combined blast-impact loading was investigated using LS-DYNA nonlinear FEA software program. The accuracy and reliabi...

description Existing literatures on combined effects of blast-impact loadings on steel-concrete composite beams are limited. In this study, behavior of steel-concrete composite beam subjected to combined blast-impact loading was investigated using LS-DYNA nonlinear FEA software program. The accuracy and reliability of developed FEA model was validated using experimental data reported in literature. Parametric studies were performed on impacting speed, concrete strength, various characteristics of H-structural steel, yield strength of studs and steel rebars to get insight into performance of composite beam subjected to combined blast impact loading. FEA results revealed that increase in specified cylindrical compressive strength of concrete, yield stress, flange and web thicknesses of H-type structural steel beam significantly improved dynamic response of a steel-concrete composite beam under combined impact-blast load case whereas yield stress of studs, and reinforcement steel bars showed insignificant contribution. Moreover, increasing impactor’s initial velocity significantly affects dynamic response of a SCC beam under combined blast-impact loading.
