    Single-Degree-of-Freedom Blast Effects

    Design Spreadsheet (SBEDS)


    BACKGROUND
    The Single-Degree-of-Freedom Blast Effects Design
    Spreadsheet (SBEDS) is an Excel© based tool for the design
    and analysis of structural components subjected to dynamic
    loads, such as airblast from explosives, using single-degree-
    of-freedom (SDOF) methodology. SBEDS is based on UFC 3-
    340-01 and UFC 3-340-02, but draws on other sources where
    improved methodologies are available.

    The user can select from a library of common component


    types, then enter parameters related to the component
    geometry, support conditions, material properties and loading.
    Based on these inputs SBEDS will calculate the SDOF
    properties and dynamic response o the component. SBEDS
    can also generate Pressure-impulse (P-i) curves of the
    component for use in assessments or preliminary designs.

    The component library includes masonry, concrete, steel,


    aluminum, cold-formed, and wood members. The user can
    select standard component shapes and materials using drop-
    down menus, or can manually input the component section
    and material properties. Dropdown menus are used to specify
    support conditions, load distribution, and modes of response
    (i.e. flexural, compression membrane and tension membrane).
    In addition to common structural components, SBEDS can
    also evaluate the dynamic response of a general SDOF
    system.

    Static and dynamic axial loads, either uniformly distributed or


    concentrated, are accommodated for many components.
    Loads can be input by the user directly or using pressure-time
    history files, or can be calculated by SBEDS based on a user-
    specified explosive and standoff.

    INTENDED USER Protective Design Center
    SBEDS was developed for structural engineers who have solid
    knowledge of structural engineering, dynamics, and blast Telephone:
    effects. This tool is not for the non-engineer. SBEDS is suited Mr. Curt Betts, Chief, PDC 402-995-2376
    for preliminary design or final design when used by a skilled
    engineer. SBEDS will aid the engineer in design of the email: [email protected]
