In the past few years, many countries have suffered severely from the attacks in form of
blasts and other terrorist activities. These attacks have caused a major loss to infrastructure …

Crumb rubber particles (RPs) can improve the impact resistance of concrete structures
owing to their high toughness. In the current paper, the dynamic behaviours of RPs …

Partially or fully buried explosive on detonation releases a large amount of kinetic energy a
part of which gets dissipated during creation of crater and the rest gets converted into …

We conducted explosion field tests on rubber concrete slabs with steel reinforcement,
including four kinds of concretes with different mix proportions of volume fractions of rubber …

The last few decades have shown a dramatic increase in the number of man-made disaster
activities resulting in extensive life loss and structural failures. The explosive devices used in …

During an accident accompanied by core damage in a water-cooled nuclear reactor, a large
amount of hydrogen is generated by fuel clad oxidation and released into the reactor …

Explosions emanating from terrorist attacks or military weapons cause damage to civilian

This study evaluated the risks for injury and death to occupants from blast waves to the side
and underbody of an armored passenger-vehicle and to ground personnel from free-field …

The aim of this research was to determine the thermobaric effect of cast composite
explosives, with different masses and dimensions of the chosen explosive charges. This was …

Drastic measures are taken in order to improve the properties of enhanced blast explosives.
First, a binder with high reactivity as reducing agent is selected. The binder, platinum cure …
