Tóm tắt:

This paper describes the determination of the blast loading based on the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and provides a numerical example of a fictive structure under this blast load. The objective of the paper is to introduce the readers to be familiar with the blast loadings calculated based on the UFC. The blast load was, then, determined using the time-pressure history analysis as well as the structure was numericallly modeled using ABAQUS computer software. The results obtained show that the conventional computer software can be used to simulate explosion effects and possibly give an initial assessment of the structure damages.
