Abstract Steel Reinforced Polymer (SRP) is an innovative system for the external
strengthening of structures, which comprises unidirectional textiles of High Tensile Strength …

This paper presents the results of a study examining the blast load performance of ultra-high
performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) columns. As part of the experimental …

Response of reinforced concrete (RC) plates subjected to blast loading is numerically
investigated through a hybrid discretization combining FEM and smoothed particle …

The dynamic behaviour of concrete-filled double-skin steel tube (CFDST) columns under
close-in blast loading was investigated using experimental and numerical approaches in the …

Contemporary world is facing numerous bomb explosion attacks on public and civil
buildings causing huge loss of property and human lives. As a consequence, the society …

Research has shown that the addition of steel fibers to concrete results in improved
postcracking tensile capacity leading to enhanced toughness, ductility, and damage …

In order to investigate the blast and impact resistance of seismically designed and detailed
RC columns, six RC columns (160× 160× 2468 mm) were constructed and tested using …

This paper presents a numerical approach to compute the performance of a double
diaphragm shock tube facility for structural response investigations. To assess the influence …

The high incidence of global terrorism and accidental explosions have highlighted the
vulnerability of built infrastructure to blast loading. Thus, owners of iconic structures are …

Explosion effects on structures have been an area of active research over the past decades.
This is due to the increasing number of terrorists' action against infrastructures. Although …
