Procedure for Predicting Blast Loads Acting on Bridge Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Historical data show that terrorist attacks against transportation assets have increased in recent years and that the vast majority of these attacks have been bombings. As such, there is growing interest in protecting ...
Response of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns Subjected to Blast Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The vast majority of past research on blast-resistant structural design focuses on buildings, with limited attention directed specifically towards bridges. Although many of the same principles apply, bridges pose unique ...
Performance of Bridge Columns Subjected to Blast Loads. I: Experimental Program
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Statistical data from past terrorist attacks show that transportation infrastructure has been widely targeted, and a significant percentage of the attacks against transportation structures have been directed towards bridges. ...
Performance of Bridge Columns Subjected to Blast Loads. II: Results and Recommendations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Guidelines for the design of critical bridge components subjected to blast loads are currently not available to the general bridge engineering community. Historically, however, transportation assets have proven to be ...
