This paper provides perspectives on multihazard engineering in the contemporary structural
engineering context in order to frame the breadth and multiple dimensions it encompasses …

A finite element model is developed in ABAQUS/CAE to simulate the dynamic response of
the reinforced concrete (RC) beam under close-in air-blast loading. The model is subjected …

In this study, the blast performance of steel reinforced concrete (RC) beams was
experimentally and analytically investigated. The experiment consists of a total of 10 one …

Explosions including accidental and manmade too not only cause damage to the
structure/building but also inflict severe injuries and loss of human lives around the …

The blast performances of concrete-filled double-skin steel tube (CFDST) columns subjected
to contact explosion were investigated experimentally and numerically in the present study …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been utilized extensively as a confining material for
concrete in civil engineering. Concrete-filled FRP tubes (CFFTs), consisting of a FRP tube, a …

The residual load-carrying performance after impact is a key index to evaluate the impact-
resistant capacity of engineering-used structure member. A multi-functional experimental …

In the wake of the event of September 2001, the increasing terrorist attacks have been a
destabilizing threat around the world. Public infrastructures, such as tall buildings and traffic …

The terrorist bombing attacks on public transportation infrastructures, eg, bridges, were
increasing dramatically. Bridge pier damaged under the explosion will lose a portion of axial …

An increasing trend of the intentional and accidental explosions has been threatening the
safety of bridges. At present, the blast-resistant evaluation for the simply-supported RC …
