Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs), composed of an outer tube made of steel as the
confining material and an inner concrete core, have been popularly utilised as high-rise …

A three-dimensional numerical model was established to investigate the impact resistance
of concrete shear walls reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, considering the …

An experimental investigation involving the use of a full-scale pendulum device to deliver
solid object impact on a reinforced concrete (RC) barrier specimen that was fitted with a …

Rigid barriers can be destroyed by the impact of rock boulders in rockfalls, landslides and
debris flows. An estimation for the maximum magnitude of the impact force is significant for …

In order to study the impact resistance of civil air defense engineering shear wall, the impact
resistance of civil air defense engineering shear wall was studied by combining finite …

The boulder impact force in debris flow is generally calculated by static methods such as the
cantilever beam models. However, these methods cannot describe the dynamic scenario of …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are occasionally subjected to accidental impact during
service, which can cause economic losses and casualties. Most previous research on the …

This textbook covers the collision of a moving, falling or flying object on a rigid barrier or a
structural element, and the transmission of the transient action to the rest of the structural …

Two alternative Bayesian approaches are proposed for the prediction of fragmentation of
pressure vessels triggered off by accidental explosions (bursts) of these containment …

Protection of built environment in cities and industrial facilities against the hazard of
pressure vessel explosions is considered. The main attention is focused on bursts of vessels …
