Measurement of field blast testing data using high speed data acquisition system for steel fiber reinforced concrete

This paper reports on a measurement of field blast testing data for steel fiber reinforced concrete using high speed data acquisition system. In this experiment a field blast test was conducted by the Blast Research Unit of University Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia to investigate the behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete panel subjected to air blast loading. The steel fiber reinforced concrete panels were subjected to air blast loading using plastic explosive (PE4) weighing 1kg each at standoff distance of 0.3 meter. The parameters measured are air blast pressure, free field blast pressure and also acceleration of the slab using high speed data acquisition system and the result is presented in this paper.
