Abstract

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) have been extensively used for the strengthening of structural components. The application on reinforced concrete (RC) walls under blast loading has also gained popularity. This paper presents the modelling of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) strengthened RC wall loaded by a small cylindrical charge with casing. The fragments are modelled by smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH). The RC wall and GFRP sheets are modelled in Lagrangian formulation. The modelling predictions are compared with the test results and a good agreement is achieved.
