Zementgebundenes Crashmaterial für Schutzbauteile in explosionsbeanspruchten Fassaden

Cementitious crash material for façade connectors of buildings under impulsive blast loads

In the past few years public awareness of the need to protect structures against blast effects has risen. Energy dissipating protective components placed at the façade connectors allow protecting people in the building as well as the primary building structure from damage due to blast loads. One possibility to dissipate the blast energy is using protective components with crash material. This paper presents tests on cementitious crash materials studying the effect of different additives to the compression-behavior of the material. Additional experiments enable analyzing the material behavior under static and dynamic test conditions.
