With increasing terrorist attacks in recent years, many researchers paid special attention to
investigate the responses and failure behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) structures …

Recent global terrorism activities and threats imposed prominent danger to the public civil
infrastructure, and thus blast and impact resistance design of structures has become an …

Despite many studies existed in the literature on the investigation of reinforced concrete
(RC) structures under impact or blast loads separately, this paper numerically evaluates the …

This paper reports the results of an extensive experimental investigation on the behavior of
shear-deficient reinforced circular RC columns under lateral impact loading. First, it provides …

Among the properties of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC), the volume fraction and
shape of steel fibers play an important role when the concrete is subjected to impact and …

Critical political and economic infrastructures are threatened by the intentional and
accidental explosions. At present, the analytical model and design approach for blast loaded …

Reinforced concrete flat slab structures are used widely in construction projects due to their
economic and functional advantages. Punching shear failure in such structures can have …

This paper presents two alternative approaches for the study of reinforced concrete beams
under blast loads. In the first approach, the beam is modeled by means of Euler–Bernoulli's …

This paper investigates the residual capacities and damage states of simply supported RC
beam subjected to the combination of a close-in explosion loading with varied-rate impact …

The determination of damage to reinforced concrete (RC) beams when buildings are
exposed to explosives is critical for assessing building destruction and overall stability …
