Being voluminous and moderately strong in compression, walls of unreinforced masonry
(URM) with poor tensile strength possess adequate stabilizing gravity force against …

As a means to lessen the threat of an accidental blast, the polyurea sprayed reinforcement of
masonry walls has attracted extensive attention. In this research, the detailed micro …

Compared to near/mid-field explosions, the far-field blast generates blast waves with long
duration and propagation distance, which will cause distinctly different damage effects. The …

Out-of-plane actions cause confined unreinforced masonry walls (URM) to develop what is
known as an arching action. The role of arching is central in the resisting mechanisms of a …

Aiming to investigate the impact of cross-sectional size on the close-in blast performance of
reinforced concrete (RC) beams, the local damage features and structural responses of RC …

The dynamic response and damage modes of arch dams subjected to explosions are key
topics having been extensively researched in recent years. However, the majority of …

The study of the mechanical properties of prestressed concrete channel slabs under
different plane charge air blasts for applications in civil defense engineering is significant …

The spurt in terrorist activities worldwide has drawn the attention of engineers and
researchers to the vulnerability of building structures to blast loads. Response of masonry …

This study investigates the building attributes shaping the resiliency and vulnerability of
unreinforced masonry buildings when subjected to blast loads, utilizing a dataset derived …

As one of the main components of a building, the collapse of masonry walls under blast load
and the ejection of debris were essential factors that caused injured and damage to internal …
