Reinforced concrete structures and structural members used in strategic infrastructures such
as highway bridges, high-rise buildings, etc. are inherently subjected to lateral impact loads …

Recent global terrorism activities and threats imposed prominent danger to the public civil
infrastructure, and thus blast and impact resistance design of structures has become an …

The possibility of acting impulsive loads such as blast and impact on gravity load-carrying
structural members such as slabs during their construction and service life cannot be ruled …

Impact force and structural response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams under drop weight
impact have been intensively studied and reported in the literature. The prediction of the …

Despite many studies existed in the literature on the investigation of reinforced concrete
(RC) structures under impact or blast loads separately, this paper numerically evaluates the …

This study presents a multi-platform simulation method for performance assessment of
reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to impact loading. The method is …

This paper presents a theoretical study on effects of combined impact and blast loadings on
the failure behaviors and dynamic responses of a typical reinforced concrete (RC) column …

The application of fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) bars to reinforce concrete structures could
mitigate the corrosion-induced damage of steel reinforcements. No study has been reported …

The estimation of the maximum displacements of RC beams subjected to impact loads is of
pivotal importance to define demand models to be employed in structural design. The …

Abstract Composite materials, including Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars, have been
gaining momentum as alternatives to traditional steel reinforcements in civil and structural …
