Abstract

In this study, a numerical simulation is conducted using AUTODYN-3D where two concrete barrier walls are exposed to blast loads. To investigate the effect of using ultra high-performance concrete in mitigating the effect of blast waves, two numerical models were carried out. The reflected over pressure and post-test damage were analyzed. The results have shown that UHPC barrier walls performed a lot better than NSC barrier walls in blast loading resistance.
