The field testing of high performance fiber reinforced concrete slabs under the TNT load explosion together with the analytical solution and the numerical modelling of those tests results

Abstract

This paper deals with the concrete slabs field testing, which was held in a military training area it is called Boletice. The testing was carried out on concrete slabs with different thickness and composition. Another parameter that was changed during the testing. was distance of tested slabs from the blast. The distance was ranged from 1 to 5 meters. The tests were carried out according to STANAG No. 2280. The article also describes the analytical solution of pressures on testing slabs and numerical solutions of pressures on testing slabs that is using ANSYS / AUTODYN software. Tests were conducted in cooperation with ADLER TRADE Ltd., which was producer of the tested slabs and also in collaboration with researchers from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague.
