High dams with large reservoirs are potential targets for terrorist attacks and local wars,
owing to their significant social influence and military value. Blast-resistant security of the …

The main components of underwater explosion loads are the shock wave and bubble
pulsation. However, there are few studies on the combined effects of shock wave and …

In recent decades, the penetration depth, hit accuracy, and damage ability of earth-
penetrating weapons have been greatly improved. High dams will thus face increasingly …

The decoupled charge structure is often used in controlled blasting. However, in actual
engineering scenarios, boreholes are typically horizontal or inclined. The explosive is close …

We present a novel solver for simulating compressible multi-fluid multiphase flow in
underwater explosions (UNDEXs). The developed solver uses a modified version of Saurel's …

During service life, road tunnels may face threats of accidental explosions, eg, Boiling Liquid
Expansion Vapour Explosions (BLEVEs) due to accidents of vehicles transporting …

The purpose of this study is to use small-scale centrifuge tests and numerical simulations to
explore the effect of bubble pulse on concrete gravity dams subjected to underwater …

Bomb attacks from terrorists have become potential risks to important infrastructures, most of
which were built without considering their vulnerability to such events. This paper focuses on …

The dynamic responses and damage mechanisms of high dams that are subjected to blast
loads have become important in recent years. A series of analytical, experimental, and …

Concrete gravity dams are often referred to as vertical cantilever structures with
approximately fixed bottoms due to their massive gravity, frictions with the foundation, and …
