Recent world events such as bombings in London, Madrid and Istanbul have highlighted the
susceptibility of many civilian structures to terrorist attack. Explosives directed towards …

Recent surge of blast/bombing events around the world in terms of accidental and/or
malicious deliberate explosions has accelerated the development of various retrofit …

The behavior of reinforced concrete panels, or slabs, retrofitted with glass fiber reinforced
polymer (GFRP) composite, and subjected to blast load is investigated. Eight 1000× 1000× …

In this study, numerical simulations are performed to construct the Pressure-Impulse (PI)
diagrams for FRP strengthened RC columns to provide correlations between the damage …

The results of numerical studies on the dynamic response of reinforced concrete (RC)
columns subjected to axial and blast-induced transverse loads utilizing an advanced single …

This study investigates the blast loading effects on a large cable-stayed bridge. The results
are presented in two parts. A companion paper by Tang and Hao (in press)[2] presents the …

Over the past several decades, iconic and public buildings have become targets of terrorist
bomb attacks, but most of these buildings were built without consideration of blast loading …

The efficiency of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) in strengthening the concrete structure
against blast loads is investigated for RC columns exposed to blast loads. It should be …

To efficiently improve the anti-blast performance of current reinforced concrete (RC)
structures, three different retrofitting methods using the carbon fiber reinforced polymer …

For retrofitting structures against blast loads, sufficient ductility and strength should be
provided by using high-performance materials such as fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) …
