EFFECT OF WALL GEOMETRY AND RUBBER INCLUSION ON THE BLAST PERFORMANCE OF STRUCTURAL CONCRETE BARRIERS
This study presents an advanced nonlinear numerical analysis using ABAQUS to assess the blast resistance of curved rubber-reinforced concrete (RRC) barrier walls. Four types of concrete, normal concrete (NC), and rubberized concretes with 10%, 30%, and 50% rubber particle volume fractions (RC10, RC30, RC50) were modeled and evaluated under blast lo...
