Abstract
Steel plate-reinforced concrete (SC) structures are ideal for protective construction. Tests have demonstrated improved resistance to projectile perforation and construction benefits when compared to conventional reinforced concrete (RC). By placing the reinforcing steel at the extreme fiber of the section, SC walls have higher strength and stiffness than an RC wall of the same depth and reinforcement ratio. This paper presents results from a preliminary analytical study of the blast response of SC structural members. The focus of this study is on one-way slabs subjected to uniform blast loads, as are common for far-field explosions. Design parameters for blast protective design of SC walls are explained and necessary modifications to existing RC blast resistant design methods to account for SC behavior are recommended.
