The behavior of concrete shear wall against blast loads

Shear walls one of the best alternative to lateral forces are using concrete shear walls. In this article we study a concrete shear wall under different loads explosion will be discussed. Two types of concrete frames with shear walls and concrete shear walls in five different modes regardless of the explosive TNT explosive loading are analyzed. Also, the frame shear wall thickness of 0.30 and 0.15 meters for two to be examined. The continuing effects of the force and the displacement mode with no frame shear wall and frame shear wall shear wall and also check for two different thicknesses. Results of the analysis show the proper performance concrete shear wall explosion is under load. As well as shear walls with a thickness of 0.30 m with a thickness of 0.15 m outperformed its shear walls.
