Applying Numerical Simulation for the Non-destructive Evaluation of Concrete Components Subjected to High Dynamic Loading

Georgios Michaloudis presented 'Applying numerical simulations for the non-destructive evaluation of concrete structural components subjected to high-dynamic loading'. Numerical simulations were used to assess the damage induced in a concrete structure from a high-dynamic load (e.g. explosion). The complex energy propagation through air and then into a structure was modelled and compared well with actual results. The models can be used to determine the residual load capacity of the structure following an impact event
