Summary

This paper investigates the response of a typical cladding system with masonry cavity walls subject to blast loading and the transfer of the blast loads to the surrounding frame. A recently developed mesoscale mixed-dimensional partitioned modelling framework is adopted, where a detailed mesoscale description for the masonry panels is utilised to achieve the desired accuracy, and a domain-partitioning scheme is adopted to enhance computational efficiency. Two different simplified idealisations representing the parts of the masonry cavity cladding at mid-span and near-column locations are considered to investigate the specific responses of the different parts of the cladding. As the cladding panels show brittle failure modes at the mid-span locations, the restraints provided by the edge columns allow a more ductile failure mode. These different failure characteristics are verified considering the results of a larger model representing the portion of a masonry cavity wall between two adjacent columns in a realistic framed building.
