Experimental Study on the Propagation Law of Explosive Stress Wave in Cement Mortar with Weak Layers

The weak layer has good attenuation performance when it comes to the explosive stress wave, which can be used in protective structures. In this paper, a cement mortar specimen was designed, cast, and tested. Under inner explosion, due to the expansion of air in the explosive hole, the tensile cracks formed around the explosive hole are mainly in a damage pattern. In ordinary cement mortar, the transmittance is decreasing as the distance increases. At a distance of 8 cm to 14 cm from the explosive center, the average transmittance is 50.16%, 12 cm to 18 cm, while the average transmittance is 62.89%, increasing by 12.73%. Adding one weak layer into the cement mortar, the transmittance of one weak layer is 43.37%. The effect of increasing weak layers in short spacing is not obvious, and the transmittance of the second and third weak layer is about 80%, much less than the first layer. The softer the weak layer and the larger the wave impedance, the smaller the transmission coefficient is. The research proves that the weak layer has excellent attenuation performance when it comes to the explosive stress wave.
