Blasts resulted from industrial/residential accidents and deliberate attacks can impose
extremely hazardous loading conditions upon nearby structures. The repercussions of these …

Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) have been increasingly used in the construction industry
due to their favourable structural performance. With the increase of accidental events in the …

The propagation process of blasting vibration has always been a difficult problem affecting
the stability of high slopes in open-pit mines. Taking the Jianshan Phosphorus Mine as the …

Graded cellular materials with a proper design may simulate blast loading and can be
applied to test the anti-blast performance of protective structures. A multiscale design …

This paper studies the nonlinear dynamic response of arching masonry walls to blast load.
The methodology combines laboratory blast testing and nonlinear dynamic modeling of …

The auditory system is particularly vulnerable to blast injury due to the ear's role as a highly
sensitive pressure transducer. Over the past several decades, studies have used a variety of …

Blast barriers are commonly used for protecting critical infrastructure from blast effects. While
rigid blast walls are the most frequently used barrier type, they are often unattractive and …

Experimental study was performed to investigate the responses of laser-welded sandwich
panels subjected to a low-frequency plane shock wave inside an explosion container. The …

Explosion events represent an extraordinary action for buildings and especially for the
building envelope. In addition to accidents in chemical plants or during transport of …

Ensuring blast protection for existing buildings, especially addressing the vulnerability of
conventional windows, is a significant challenge. Such unprotected windows can shatter …
