Safety of tunnel structures subjected to accidental or hostile explosions inside road and
utility tunnels has attracted increasing attentions. It is essential to understand the dynamic …

The damage prediction and protective measures of tunnels subjected to blast loads have
gained importance in recent years due to increasing accidental events and terrorist attacks …

Concrete is a material frequently used in protective structures exposed to extreme loading.
In this study, the ballistic perforation resistance of 50 mm thick plain concrete slabs impacted …

During service life, road tunnels may face threats of accidental explosions, eg, Boiling Liquid
