All right reserved. n order to study the blast-resistant protective effect of the aluminum foam slab as porous energy absorbing material on the engineering structure, using an outdoor explosion test, the dynamic response and failure modes of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with different aluminum foam protective layers under blast loading were studied, and the finite element model was established by using the LS-DYNA software. Through comparison with the test, the feasibility of the model was verified. The dynamic responses of RC slabs with or without aluminum foam protective layers were compared and analyzed, and the effects of aluminum foam density gradient distribution and longitudinal reinforcement ratio were analyzed. The results show that the finite element model can accurately describe the dynamic response of RC slabs with aluminum foam protective layers. Aluminum foam protective layers can effectively reduce the deflection of reinforced concrete slabs and reduce the damage of specimens. The aluminum foam density increases from bottom to top, which has the best blast-resistant performance on RC slabs. Moreover, increasing the reinforcement ratio can improve the blast-resistant performance of aluminum foam-protected RC slabs.
