Investigation of the behavior of a three-storey reinforced concrete building under explosion depending on various variables

The design of the buildings continues with the field productions after the architectural and static projects are completed. During the static design phase of the projects whose architecture has been completed, dead load, live load, earthquake load, wind load, temperature effect, fictitious load and crane load in industrial buildings are defined and calculations are made by taking these loads into account. The material and moral losses caused by explosions in explosive warehouses, terrorist activities and natural origin explosions in recent years have revealed that explosion loads should be included in static calculations, especially in some buildings. In this thesis study; The effects of explosion loads of different amounts and locations on a three-storey reinforced concrete structure were investigated. In this context; A finite element software capable of performing explosion analysis was used. The effect of the loads created by the explosive detonating at different amounts and locations in a three-storey reinforced concrete structure on the carrier and non-bearing elements of the structure was investigated. Although it is inevitable that the design of buildings resistant to explosion loads will cause additional costs in the production area, it is inevitable that hospitals, public buildings, military buildings, etc. It is thought that taking this into account in the design of critically important structures will prevent many damages in terms of material and loss of life.
