ABSTRACT

In this paper, ANSYS/LS-DYNA dynamic analysis software was used to establish finite element truss models with six trusses. The models with impact loads aimed to simulate the scenarios that structures were crashed by heavy truck. By changing the crashed position, the impact load intensity and structure height-span ratio, the models could give out the structural performance, including the stress, strain and other impacts in different scenarios. Besides, considering the component failure, this paper analyzed the possibility of structural progressive collapse. Results for the load cases from below indicate that it will be more destructive if impact load is arranged on 3rd side pillar and progressive collapse will occur if pillar fails after crashed.
