Abstract: Owing to their convenient transportation, quick assembly, and high cost performance, gabion walls are widely used in the protection of critical infrastructure and personnel from explosions. To study the damage and response ...

Abstract: To fully recognize the load-resisting mechanisms of post-tensioned concrete (PC) structures with realistic boundary conditions against disproportionate collapse, four beam-column subassemblies were extracted from a prototype ...

Abstract: This paper develops a three-dimensional (3D) microscopic model to investigate the mechanical response of cement mortar with random defects at high strain rates. Ellipsoids with randomness in size, shape, and spatial ...
