This report presents a series of numerical simulations, done by the EUROPLEXUS code [1], of experimental tests performed at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) about blast effects on tubular concrete (plain or reinforced) structures. These structures provide a simplified re...

This report presents a series of numerical simulations of flexible beams subjected to blast-like loading in the SIMLab Shock Tube Facility (SSTF) of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim. The simulations are performed by the EUROPLEXUS computer code. Keywords: Fast...
