Abstract: Combined loading of blast and fragments involves various loading mechanisms on a structural element. It includes the momentum inflicted by the blast load and the penetration of the fragments, as well as the structural ...

Abstract: This paper presents a formula for evaluating the temperature distribution in RC circular columns exposed to standard fire scenarios. Unlike the detailed solution to the heat transfer differential equation, the proposed ...

Abstract: The paper presents the methodologies and results of an experimental study aimed at measuring the soil contact pressures which develop on a buried structure as it interacts with the surrounding soil under load. The study ...
