To investigate the similarity of damage between reinforced concrete (RC) components of different scale ratios under explosive loading, this study employs the Π theorem from dimensional analysis to derive scaling relationships for the spalling diameter and mid-span deflection of RC slabs subjected to blast loads. The scaling laws for both the spalling diameter and mid-span displacement are thus established. By comparing finite element numerical models with scale ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3, the corresponding errors in spalling diameter and mid-span deflection are analyzed. The results suggest that, in near-field explosion experiments, the scaling ratio of RC slabs should be no less than 1:2 of the full-scale model to minimize the influence of size effects.

摘要

To investigate the similarity of damage between reinforced concrete (RC) components of different scale ratios under explosive loading, this study employs the Π theorem from dimensional analysis to derive scaling relationships for the spalling diameter and mid-span deflection of RC slabs subjected to blast loads. The scaling laws for both the spalling diameter and mid-span displacement are thus established. By comparing finite element numerical models with scale ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3, the corresponding errors in spalling diameter and mid-span deflection are analyzed. The results suggest that, in near-field explosion experiments, the scaling ratio of RC slabs should be no less than 1:2 of the full-scale model to minimize the influence of size effects.
