The Blast Resistant Design & Simulation Engineer for the analysis, design, and evaluation of structures subjected to blast loads. The role involves performing advanced numerical simulations, developing blast-resistant structural systems, and ensuring compliance with international standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform blast load calculations (TNT equivalency, scaled distance, reflected pressure, impulse).
- Conduct blast simulations using software such as:
- ANSYS Autodyn
- LS-DYNA
- ABAQUS
- SAP2000 / ETABS (for structural response checks)
- Design blast-resistant:
- Reinforced concrete structures
- Steel structures
- UG bunkers and tunnels
- Ammunition storage facilities
- Develop Single degree of freedom (SDOF) models for dynamic response analysis.
- Evaluate structural performance based on:
- Ductility ratios
- Support rotation
- Prepare Detailed engineering reports and technical documentation.
- Review and interpret project specifications related to explosion loads.
- Ensure compliance with standards such as:
- UFC 3-340-02
- TM manual
- IATG guidelines
- ASCE blast provisions
Participate in design reviews and client meetings.
