Abstract

In order to ascertain how explosive load influences orthotropic slabs with short span stiffeners partially positioned in the x-direction, the purpose of this study is to perform a numerical analysis. The maximum displacement of a floor surface with respect to the force of an explosive load and the angle of inclination. It is feasible to calculate the impact of the angle of inclination and the height of the blast load on the vertical deflection of the slab using the 6th order polynomial blast equation, as long as the local blast load is positioned in the center of the slab. An analysis reveals that the vertical deflection of the slab is affected by the timing of the explosion. Specifically, a more powerful explosion has a diminishing effect on the deflection of the slab. The inclination angle has no major impact on the outcomes of deflection.
