Lattice Discrete Particle Model

In this study, the Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM), a recently developed three-dimensional meso-level model for concrete, is used to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete under severe loading conditions. LDPM simulates concrete through an assemblage of particles (coarse aggregate pieces) connected through a lattice mesh. In order to simulate steel reinforcement, a mesh of plastic beams is embedded in the lattice system. Nonlinear concrete-reinforcement bond is also included in the formulation. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated through the simulation of projectile penetration into reinforced concrete slabs and blast spallation of dividing walls.

Meso Scale

The study of concrete dam subjected to extreme loading conditions require theadoption of accurate constitutive equations. In this paper some recent results on the meso-scalesimulation of blast and penetration e ects on concrete will be discussed. The adopted meso-scale constitutive equation is the so-called Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) recentlyformulated at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. LDPM can accurately describe the macroscopicbehavior of quasi-brittle materials, and especially concrete, during elastic, fracturing, softening,and hardening regimes. Tensile dominated experimental tests under both dynamic conditionswere numerically simulated. After presenting examples of simulations relevant to quasi-staticand dynamic concrete behavior, LDPM simulation of the e ect of air blast pressure, on concretewill be discussed. Finally, the problem of the extrapolations of laboratory tests to actual in-situconditions is also presented.
