Abstract

Recently, the mode approximation method (MAM) has been adopted to analyze beam elements against blast load. However, in real cases, the main structural element of an underground structure is slab and side wall since they not only support the structure itself but also may sustain external loads from blast, earthquake, and other kinds of impact. In the present study, the MAM is extended from beam to plate elements and the soil-structure interaction is considered and simplified when calculating structural response under blast load. Pressure-impulse diagrams are generated accordingly for further quick damage assessment.
