Abstract
Many engineering facilities are severely damaged by blast loading. Therefore, many manufacturers
of sensitive, breakable, and deformed structures (such as facades of glass buildings) carry out studies and set
standards for these installations to withstand shock waves caused by explosions. Structural engineers also use
these standards in their designs for various structural elements by following the ISO Damage Carve, which
links pressure and Impulse. As all the points below this curve means that the structure is safe and will not
exceed the degree of damage based on the various assumptions made. This research aims to derive the IsoDamage
curve of a reinforced concrete beam exposed to blast wave. An advanced volumetric finite element
program (ABAQUS) will be used to perform the derivation.
