Abstract EN
The subway station is easy to be attacked by terrorist bombings, and it will cause heavy casualties.
In this paper, a comprehensive casualty assessment method for personnel in the subway structure was established based on the existing personnel injury model.
The spatial distribution characteristics of the shock wave suffered by the personnel in the subway platform were obtained.
Combined with the comprehensive casualty assessment method, the personnel casualty area for the explosions in the subway platform was divided.
The results show that for the same explosive charge, the maximum positive phase impulse generated by the explosion at the edge of the platform is smallest.
The “notch effect” for the stair exit will increase the shock wave load.
When the explosive is exploded in the center of the platform, the smaller the explosive charge is, the more obvious the “notch effect” is.
When the explosive charge reaches 40 kg, the personnel safety area is reduced to a certain extent behind the stair except for the explosion happening at the stair.
Also, the higher the shield door is, the larger the safety area behind the stair is.
