Abstract:
Engineering research efforts in the area of blast-resistant design is a priority of many government, military, and civilian organizations. Prefabricated tilt-up panels have become a very common method for conventional construction. This effort will present the development of an analytical model for creating static resistance functions which can be used in a single degree of freedom (SDOF) dynamic model. The results of the SDOF model can be used to predict and design the response of prefabricated tilt-up panels as blast walls. The paper will describe the performance of tilt-up panels for blast resistance using analytical models and full-scale field tests using live explosives. The results of the analytical dynamic model are verified using the field experiments, and the procedure is implemented into a user-friendly engineering design and analysis code, Air Force Wall Analysis Code (AFWAC).
