With increasing terrorist attacks in recent years, many researchers paid special attention to
investigate the responses and failure behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) structures …

The number of intentional and unintentional explosions is constantly increasing worldwide.
Owing to increasing threat, the need for safer structures is of utmost importance. This paper …

Spall damage is a typical damage mode of concrete structures under blast or high velocity
impact loads. Blast and impact loads generate a stress wave propagating in the structure. At …

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 …

This paper aims to study the blast-resistant behavior of one-way simply-supported reinforced
ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) panels through field tests and numerical …

Damage to government buildings, iconic structures, and monuments from blast incidence of
global terrorism and accidental explosions are perpetually attracting the attention 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 …

Unlike ductile behaviour under static loads, a reinforced concrete structure can respond in a
brittle manner with highly localised damage like concrete spalling, cratering and …

Reinforcement concrete is the principle material for military engineering and nuclear power
plant. However, impact and explosions could completely destroy such structures, causing …

The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete structures usually starts as a local failure,
which occurs because of abnormal loads. This can result in enormous economic losses and …
