Assessment of the Response of Masonry Structure to the Explosion with Application of Numerical Modeling

Abstract

The contribution deals with static and dynamic analysis of current masonry building loaded by the natural gas explosion inside the room. Several approaches to the determination of blast load and its effects on the structure are studied. Within the analysis of the structure, the 3D numerical model has been generated and used for research of the structure response and of failure modes of the structural elements in consequence of blast load effects.
