Although a number of precast concrete segmental columns (PCSC) have been built and
developed in recent years owing to their various advantages, the dynamic responses of the …

Constructions with precast technology have seen a fast development over the past several
decades. Despite advantages including short construction period, better quality control, less …

Different factors can affect blast response of structural components. Hence, experimental
tests could be the best method for evaluating structures under blast loading. Therefore, an …

Columns are the main load-bearing structure elements in frame structures and outermost
columns are the critical structural elements for potential extremist attacks. The explicit …

A major difficulty of the analysis of and design for close-in blasts is the high variability of the
blast shock waves and the complex interactions between these waves and structures. Close …

The dynamic behaviour of concrete-filled double-skin steel tube (CFDST) columns under
close-in blast loading was investigated using experimental and numerical approaches in the …

To understand the behavior of post-tensioned concrete box bridges under blast loads, a
typical concrete cantilever bridge is exposed to close-in deck explosion. The objectives of …

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 …

This report focuses on the protection of highway bridges against earthquake and blast
hazards. The results of a previously developed and experimentally validated multi-hazard …

Spall damage is a typical damage mode of concrete structures under blast or high velocity
impact loads. Blast and impact loads generate a stress wave propagating in the structure. At …
