    Blast load on concrete column modeling

    Hi, I'm trying to model a blast load on a 1.2x0.7 m section and 6.8m height well reinforced column in ls-dyna. I used a blast load of 300kg TNT at 30 m but the response of the column was very low. Since 300kg is a considerable amount of TNT weight (possibly more than a car bomb) is this response...

    eular domain as non reflecting surface

    I'm modeling a explosion in a air domain (eular) I want to set the boundaries to be non reflectory. When I tried I could not select the outer faces of the eular mesh to be impedence boundary. So how the define the outer surfaces of a eular domain as non reflecting surface Thank you

    Reducing hour glass in blast

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to model a concrete member subjected to a blast load. When the model is analysed is shows very high hourglass energy, But when I try to reduce hourglass by using ELFORM 2, -1, -2 some nodes get negative volumes. How could this be resolved Thank you

    Precast beam design

    Can anyone please provide me some reference for designing of precast beams. I lack the precast background therefore wish to start from the simple basics. An attachment would be very helpful. Thank you

    Precast concrete beam column connection

    In past literature it keeps on mentioning about exterior and interior precast beam-column connections. Can anyone please explain the difference of these two. Also can anyone attach most commonly used precast column-beam connection detailed drawings if possible. Thank you
