Numerical procedures for extreme impulsive loading on high strength concrete structures
Kent T. Danielson, Mark D. Adley and James L. O\'Daniel

 
Abstract
    This paper demonstrates numerical techniques for complex large-scale modeling with microplane constitutive theories for reinforced high strength concrete, which for these applications, is defined to be around the 7000 psi (48 MPa) strength as frequently found in protective structural design. Applications involve highly impulsive loads, such as an explosive detonation or impact-penetration event. These capabilities were implemented into the authors
 
Key Words
    nonlinear finite element analysis; reinforced concrete; microplane constitutive model; parallel computing.
