Long-span suspension bridges are typically designed against wind and earthquake
loadings without considering blast loads because existing blast-resistant design guidelines …

The reinforcement setting in reinforced concrete (RC) protective structure should be
optimized to resist the impact of high-velocity large-caliber projectiles (LCPs), which is yet to …

In order to reproduce the dynamic behaviors of RC structures under intensive loadings, eg,
impact and blast, more realistically and accurately, the dynamic interactions between the …

The recent trend of increasing global terrorist attacks and identified vulnerabilities
associated with critical bridges highlights the necessity to protect cable-stayed bridges from …

This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the damage mode of the strand
cables under explosions, followed by an assessment of the residual capacity of the blast …

This study presents an experimental investigation into the residual capacity of parallel wire
cables subjected to contact explosions, to assess their structural integrity and functional …

This paper focuses on the design of protective structures against the combined damage
effect of preceding penetration and successive charge explosion of full-scale Earth …

The design of suspension bridges predominantly emphasizes wind and earthquake loads,
frequently overlooking the consideration of extreme events in the design stage, thus posing …

This study evaluated the paired performance of different signal processing techniques and
supervised learning models being capable of identifying subtle differences in otherwise …

The advanced coupled finite element models can be used to model the structures and the
extreme load of air blast as well as the interaction between them. However, the structural …
