Damage states of several analytical cases.

Analytical caseR (m)Damage states of the pier

1# car bomb1.2The concrete is almost completely destroyed within the height of 0 m–2 m above the ground on the near-explosion face side, and the failure rate of longitudinal reinforcement (percentage of the number of failure longitudinal reinforcements to the total number) is as high as 47.92%.
3.5Most of the concrete protective layer is peeled off at the height of 1 m on the near-explosion face side. A few reinforcements are exposed, but none of them reaches the failure strain.
6.0Part of the concrete is sheared and damaged at the pier’s bottom, and no reinforcement is exposed.

2# car bomb1.2The concrete protective layer is almost completely peeled off at the height of 1 m on the near-explosion face side, and the failure rate of longitudinal reinforcement is 7.69%.
3.5The concrete in edge areas is peeled off at the height of 1 m on the near-explosion face side, and no reinforcement is exposed.
6.0The concrete protective layer is almost intact, and no reinforcements are exposed.

3# car bomb1.2Part of the concrete is sheared and damaged at the bottom of the pier, and a few of the reinforcements are exposed.
3.5The concrete protective layer is almost intact, and no reinforcement is exposed.
6.0The concrete protective layer is almost intact, and no reinforcement is exposed.
