Abstract:

With the improvement of guidance precision and penetration capability of missile weapons, multiple internal explosions have gradually become an important form of attacking buildings. Shear wall is an important structural component in buildings, and its damage mechanism and failure mode need to be further studied under internal explosions. In order to reproduce the constraint conditions and load scenarios of shear wall, a 1/3 scaled reinforced concrete structure was used to conduct multiple internal explosion tests with different TNT charge masses. By analyzing the crack pattern, damage level and mid-span displacement of structure component, the influence of internal explosion strength and loading times on the failure mode and damage level of the shear wall is studied. The results indicated that when the internal explosive load is small, the failure mode of shear wall would change from bending to bending-shear. However, when the internal explosive load is large, the failure mode of shear wall would change from bending-shear to complete shear. Under the multiple explosive loading scenarios, the deformation resistance of shear wall with initial mild damage is larger than that of the shear wall without initial damage. On the other hand, the deformation resistance of shear wall with the initial moderate or higher-level damage is lower than that of the shear wall without initial damage. Therefore, the correlation between multiple damages should be considered in order to evaluate the cumulative damage of shear wall component.
