Determination of Blast Impact Range and Safe Distance for a Reinforced Concrete Pile Under Blast Loading

Piles transfer structural loads to the hard layers of soil or rock; thus, any damage pile foundations could have irreparable consequences. A surface blast can create a ground shock that transmits energy along and at depths. Explosion research necessitates technical design mitigate adverse effects on nearby structures facilities. The impact range safe distance which will avoid are two critical parameters for under loading. Therefore, this study used coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method determine reinforced concrete piles (RC piles) subjected results clayey sandy soils revealed an increase in explosive depth had no significant effect distance, despite decrease compressive tensile pile. Increasing mass decreased ultimate bearing capacity increased range. Sandy performed better than against findings be applied various projects, including near gas transmission lines vulnerable terrorist attacks.
