Funded Activity Summary

Experimental and numerical study of dynamic properties of concrete and fibre reinforced concrete materials. Recent disastrous examples of life and economy loss due to terrorist action or accident explosion include Bali bombing and Western Australia gas explosion. Reliable prediction of structure response to blast and impact loads is essential for life and economy protection against such loads. This project will perform laboratory tests and numerical simulations to study the construction material properties under dynamic loading conditions, and develop numerical models for accurate predictions of structure response to blast loads. The project contributes to the integrated effort for a secure Australia. It will result in enormous savings from conducting blast tests and will have applications in civil, mining and defence engineering.
