Reinforced concrete (RC) walls are vulnerable to severe damage under high-intensity, close-
in TNT explosions. Substantial secondary fragments at high ejecting velocities could be …

Reinforced concrete (RC) slabs are vulnerable to localized damage from close-in TNT
explosions, suffering perforation and extensive spalling damages that generate high-velocity …

Abstract" Band-beam slab" or" slab with a shallow beam" are widely used in contemporary
multi-level building construction and are particularly common in lower levels and …

This study presents a comprehensive procedure for determining, calibrating, and validating
the Riedel–Hiermaier–Thoma (RHT) material model parameters for granite. The process …

Improvised explosive device (IED) poses a significant threat due to its simplicity of
fabrication and deployment. For reinforced concrete (RC) walls, the close-in IED explosions …

Accurate prediction of blast-induced fragmentation in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is
pivotal for structural debris hazard assessment in an explosion event. This assessment is …

The failure process of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under contact explosion is dominated
by localized damages, accompanied by numerous flying fragments. These concrete …

In the context of post-war reconstruction, this study introduces a novel assessment model
tailored for the preliminary management of blast-damaged reinforced concrete buildings …

In response to the increasing threat of powerful earth-penetrating weapons, underground
protective structures typically employ composite structural systems with reinforced steel …

In a world with increasing numbers of conflicts, wars and overall increased tension, the need
for safety design of buildings and structures increases as a result. Accurate numerical model …
