Abstract

One of the issues considered in the design and dynamic resistance of structures (as seismic or explosive) is the use of materials which cause reduction in the force applied on the structure. With regard to the fact that greater loading is on the wall of concrete structures, the use of materials that reduce explosive force on the structure wall are among explosive force reduction methods.One of the viscose and damping materials of polymers is FRP, and in this study the FLAC3D software is used to evaluate the effect of this material on reducing force implemented on the walls and hence reduction of wall movement due to explosion. The concrete wall along with the FRP layer is modeled under dynamic loading. The effect of damping coefficient, number of FRP layers and concrete wall thickness has been evaluated.
