Blasts and accidental explosions are being reported more frequently than before with
grievous injuries and loss of lives and damage to the structure, increasing the concern of …

Concerns have risen from building responses and resulting fatalities in some recent
infamous terrorist attacks. The collapse of the Alfred P. Murrah Building, for instance …

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 …

The K&C material model is widely used to numerically predict the responses of concrete
structures against impact or blast loadings. In the literature, most of the K&C parameters are …

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 …

Bridge piers have a high risk of being attacked in wartime, which has the potential to trigger
progressive bridge collapse. This study aims to predict the failure probability of reinforced …

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

A description and results from validation studies for the Karagozian & Case (K&C) concrete
(KCC) model are presented in this paper. This material model is primarily intended for …

Existing reinforced concrete building structures have seismic and blast vulnerabilities due to
their seismically deficient details. Such structural vulnerabilities can be mitigated using a …

The paper presents results of an experimental study of twenty RC columns, with and without
carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping, subjected to the combined action of axial …
