RISModeling the Nonlinear Behavior of Concrete Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Steel Studs under Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation of one-way unreinforced masonry (URM) walls retrofitted with externally anchored steel studs and subjected to blast loads. Using the wall geometrical and ...
Performance of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Externally Anchored Steel Studs under Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Six full-scale concrete masonry walls were tested under free-field blast loading using different charge sizes up to 250 kg of ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO) and at a constant stand-off distance of 15.0 m to cover a wide ...
Time-Response Analysis of Arching Unreinforced Concrete Block Walls Subjected to Blast Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The new ASCE59-11 standards currently limit the use of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls in blast-resistant construction, regardless of the wall boundary conditions. This is attributable in part to the lack of experimental ...
Response of Arching Unreinforced Concrete Masonry Walls to Blast Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: New standards for blast protection of buildings are currently being developed in the United States and Canada. In this regard, both standards are considering unreinforced masonry (URM) walls as particularly vulnerable to ...
