Masonry walls are bulky and heavy and have therefore the potential to act naturally as a
protective system to blasts. Yet, they are known to have a limited flexural and torsional …

Underground structures are normally located in highly-confined and congested spaces,
which may lead to severe gas explosion accidents, with significant human and economic …

Attributed to the discontinuous configurations and nonhomogeneous mechanical properties
of brick and mortar in masonry wall, the numerical reproduction of the structural responses …

Abstract 12 batches of premixed methane-air mixture explosion tests were conducted in a 30
m long testing tube with section dimensions of 0.8 m× 0.8 m to explore the loading …

To effectively analyses the flame propagation of premixed hydrogen-air explosion, this
paper carries out a numerical study on the dynamics of flame propagation during hydrogen …

Studies of overpressure loads are essential to mitigate the potential hazards of public safety
induced by gas explosion accidents. Based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code …

Clay brick masonry unit (CBMU) walls are widely used in building structures, and its damage
and protection under explosion loads have been a matter of concern in the field of …

Concrete members such as columns, beams, slabs, and walls exhibit different damage
modes under contact explosion due to their different cross-sectional properties, potentially …

A total of nine full-scale in-situ tests were carried out to investigate the performances of
autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) masonry walls subjected to vented gas explosions. The …

A total of nine full-scale field blast tests were conducted in a specially designed reinforced
concrete (RC) chamber to investigate the performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer …
