Resumen

Blasting demolition plays an important role in building demolition, and numerical-simulation methods can facilitate the optimization of blasting-demolition schemes. To study the influence of the delay-time differences between columns on the blasting and demolition effect of small-aspect-ratio reinforced concrete structures, a separated common node model of small-aspect-ratio structures was established through the finite element numerical simulation software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The results showed that the delay-time differences between columns influenced the position of the plastic hinge of the structure, and the plastic hinge was located at the end of the back span beam when the delay-time difference was 0.1~0.3 s. The plastic hinge moves to the top of the back row of the columns of the first floor at 0.4~0.8 s and to the end of each span of the beams at 0.9 s. When the plastic hinge is at the end of the beam, the orientation axis is located at the bottom of the back row of the columns of the first floor. Moreover, when the plastic hinge is at the top of the back row of the columns of the first floor, the orientation axis is at the same position as the plastic hinge. The delay-time difference also affects the recoil distance of the structure as well as the height of the burst pile. To ensure that the structure can be successfully collapsed under the preconditions of disintegration, for a small height-to-width ratio structure, the appropriate intercolumn delay-time difference is 0.4~0.5 s.
