  • A damage criterion by blast vibration & noise has to be established through a engineering view point. Though a blast vibration has effects on human and structure, they have experienced a different damage. Thus, a damage criterion for structure needs to get a peculiar criterion which are different from one for human. At present, blast damage criterions authorized by government are Vibration & Noise Act made by Ministry of Environment and blast damage criterion of specifications for tunnel made by Ministry of Construction & Transportation. Vibration & Noise Act is based on the response of human, and while it has some application problems, it turns out to be partly rational. But, blast damage criterion of specifications for tunnel has unreasonable guidelines. In this article, its problems are reviewed and a alternative blast damage criterion is suggested.

  • This paper is focused on the residual capacity of steel columns, as a damage criterion. Load-Impulse (P-I) diagrams are frequently used for analysis, design, or assessment of blast resistant structures. The residual load carrying capacity of a simply supported steel column was derived as a damage criterion based on a SDOF computational approach. Dimensionless P-I diagrams were generated numerically with this quantitative damage criterion. These numerical P-I diagrams were used to show that traditional constant ductility ratios adopted as damage criteria are not appropriate for either the design or damage assessment of blast resistant steel columns, and that the current approach could be a much more appropriate alternative.
