ACI SP-306:2016 PDF Download

ACI SP-306:2016 is a special publication by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) that focuses on the comparison of blast response analysis of one-way slabs using different analytical and finite element concrete material models. The publication is a result of a Blast Blind Simulation Contest, which was sponsored by ACI Committees 447 and 370, and the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC). The goal of the contest was to predict the response of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loads using various simulation methods.

The publication includes papers from both academic researchers and industry personnel, providing a comprehensive view of the field. The papers cover topics such as parameters influencing finite element results for concrete structures, numerical computation of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loading, and numerical modeling for reinforced concrete response to blast load. Other papers discuss the simulation of concrete slabs under blast loading using different models, such as the cohesive crack model and the SDOF (Single-Degree-of-Freedom) model.

The publication acknowledges the authors, reviewers, and ACI staff for their contributions, as well as the support from ACI Committees 447 and 370. It also includes a table of contents listing the papers included in the publication.
