Abstract: At present, the deterministic approach to blast-resistant design appears to be the prevalent philosophy in practice, as suggested by the notion of design-basis threat (DBT) outlined by the ASCE/SEI 59-11. In this study, ...

Abstract: In this study, a nonlinear model is developed to study the response of blast-loaded reinforced concrete (RC) columns. The strain rate dependency and the axial load and

Abstract: Probabilistic risk assessment methodologies are typically employed to optimize resource allocations for blast risk mitigation schemes, which may be necessary for the design of new blast resistant facilities as well as the ...
