Experiments on the hydrogen gas explosion were performed to achieve the safe use of hydrogen energy, and the effect of explosion accidents on peripheral reinforced concrete (RC) structures was studied. Hydrogen gas with 37m3 in volume and 30% in volume concentration was detonated, and the response of the walls settled near the explosion center was measured in displacement, stress, cracks and damage situation. As the result, the damage mechanism of RC structures was studied. Fundamental data for the safety design of protective walls was obtained.
