Understanding physical phenomena such as blast shock waves produced by controlled
explosions is useful for problem solving in military and civil fields. The current study …

The ever-present threat of terrorist attacks in recent decades gives way to research towards
blast-resistant design of structures. Columns, as one of the main load-bearing elements in …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the response of plain
concrete (PC) and reinforced concrete (RC) slabs subjected to contact explosion effects of …

The explosion dynamics process is complex and difficult to carry out accurate analytical
analysis. Numerical simulation with controllable boundary conditions and initial conditions …

Threats involving terrorist attacks using large amounts of explosives are less likely due to the
complexity of acquiring them without alerting security agencies. A plausible threat tactic is to …

During an explosion, a building's stability is directly impacted by reinforced concrete (RC)
columns. However, there is currently no theoretical analysis model that can precisely predict …

The threat of terrorist bombing attacks on critical infrastructure has attracted a lot of
attentions over the past decades. Contact explosion with a small explosive charge mass can …
