Abstract: In this study, 13 typical wide-flange steel columns, each carrying an axial load equal to 25% of its axial capacity, are field tested using live explosives, involving charge size of 50 to 250 kg of ammonium nitrate/fuel ...

Abstract: A confined explosion inside a critical facility may lead to the total paralysis of pertinent operations. Practical solutions to mitigate such risk include lightweight sacrificial cladding, which can be deployed as a physical ...
