Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) have been increasingly used in the construction industry
due to their favourable structural performance. With the increase of accidental events in the …

This paper presents the nonlinear vibration of porous functionally graded sandwich plate on
elastic foundations subjected to blast loading by the analytical approach. The sandwich …

This study aims to numerically investigate the response of precast/prefabricated segmental
concrete girders/beams (PSCBs) under detonations of high explosives. A new and effective …

The bond behaviour between reinforcement and concrete is one of the critical factors that
govern the capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) structures as it ensures the composite action …

experiment.•Finite element numerical simulations verified by real cutting test.•Optimum …

Blast performance assessment of 300 m high arch dams is an important topic having been
extensively studied in recent years. Because the arch dam is convex on the upstream face …

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the key factors that influences
the life cycle performance and load-carrying capacities of concrete structures. For concrete …

Explosion position is random for structures under realistic explosion threats. Understanding
the damage modes and mechanism of basic structural members under contact explosion at …

The terrorist bombing attacks on public transportation infrastructures, eg, bridges, were
increasing dramatically. Bridge pier damaged under the explosion will lose a portion of axial …

This study investigated dynamic performances of concrete beam-column joints under
various impact loading scenarios including impact contact condition (ie, impact directly or via …
