Due to increased threats it is becoming important to ensure that strategic buildings in Canadian cities are blast resistant. There is a need to develop innovative and cost-effective methods that can ensure acceptable performance during blast events. Recent developments in material science have led to a new generation of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHP-FRC). When compared to conventional concrete UHP-FRC shows very high compressive strength, improved tensile strength, post-cracking resistance and toughness, making UHP-FRC an ideal material for use in the design of blast resistant structures. In ground-story columns, UHP-FRC can be used to improve performance and prevent progressive collapse. Moreover the improved properties of UHP-FRC can allow for relaxed detailing leading to improved constructability. Superior toughness and fragmentation resistance can also allow for the use of UHP-FRC in the design of optimized blast-resistant walls that can be used as part of an effective blast protection system for buildings of critical importance. The overarching aim of the proposed research is to mitigate hazards associated with blast loads on building structures using UHP-FRC structural systems. The long-term aims also include the development of design and detailing procedures for the use of UHP-FRC in the blast-resistant design of structures. Short-term the program will focus on the blast performance of UHP-FRC building columns and wall components. To assess blast performance of columns half-scale specimens will be subjected to simulated blast loading using the state-of-art shock-tube facility at the University of Ottawa. The columns will be subjected to a variety of blast pressure combinations aimed at testing the columns at elastic, yield and ultimate conditions. Similarly, shock-tube testing will also be conducted on UHP-FRC wall panels. Test variables will include UHP-FRC material properties, flexural and transverse steel reinforcement properties (ratio and strength) . As part of the analytical program, material models for UHP-FRC which incorporate dynamic effects will be developed based on extensive material testing on small-scale specimens tested under variable strain-rates, and procedures for the dynamic analysis of UHP-FRC columns and walls subjected to blast will be assessed and validated. This research program will result in innovative experimental and analytical research on the blast performance of UHP-FRC components and will provide the engineering and research community with important data and research findings. Six graduate students will be training and HQP trained in this program will meet increased demand for engineers that are well-versed in blast resistant design of buildings in Canada. The program will be a first step towards development of CSA S850 blast design guidelines for UHP-FRC, leading to improved safety and security for Canadians.

由于威胁的增加，确保加拿大城市的战略建筑具有抗爆炸能力变得越来越重要。需要开发创新且具有成本效益的方法，以确保爆炸事件期间可接受的性能。 材料科学的最新发展催生了新一代超高性能纤维增强混凝土（UHP-FRC）。与传统混凝土相比，UHP-FRC 显示出非常高的抗压强度、改进的抗拉强度、抗后裂性和韧性，使 UHP-FRC 成为抗爆结构设计的理想材料。在底层柱中，UHP-FRC 可用于提高性能并防止逐渐倒塌。此外，UHP-FRC 的改进性能可以允许宽松的细节设计，从而提高可施工性。卓越的韧性和抗碎裂性还允许在优化的防爆墙设计中使用 UHP-FRC，该墙可用作至关重要的建筑物的有效防爆系统的一部分。 拟议研究的总体目标是减轻与使用 UHP-FRC 结构系统的建筑结构上的爆炸载荷相关的危险。长期目标还包括开发在结构防爆设计中使用 UHP-FRC 的设计和详细程序。短期内，该计划将重点关注 UHP-FRC 建筑柱和墙体构件的防爆性能。为了评估柱的爆炸性能，将使用渥太华大学最先进的激波管设施对半比例样本进行模拟爆炸载荷。这些柱将受到各种爆炸压力组合的作用，旨在测试柱的弹性、屈服和极限条件。同样，还将对 UHP-FRC 墙板进行激波管测试。测试变量将包括 UHP-FRC 材料特性、弯曲和横向钢筋特性（比率和强度）。作为分析计划的一部分，将根据在可变应变率下测试的小尺寸样本的广泛材料测试以及 UHP-FRC 柱和墙的动态分析程序，开发包含动态效应的 UHP-FRC 材料模型遭受爆炸的将被评估和验证。 该研究计划将对 UHP-FRC 部件的爆炸性能进行创新的实验和分析研究，并将为工程和研究界提供重要的数据和研究成果。六名研究生将接受培训，并且在该计划中接受培训的 HQP 将满足加拿大对精通建筑物防爆设计的工程师日益增长的需求。该计划将是为 UHP-FRC 制定 CSA S850 爆炸设计指南的第一步，从而提高加拿大人的安全保障。
