The objective of this work is to determine and study, analyze and elaborate, classify and
categorize the main risk analysis and risk-assessment methods and techniques by …

Glass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades in modern constructions, for
many practical reasons, including thermal, energy, light and aesthetics. Nevertheless, due to …

Currently, an increasing number of information/communication technologies are adopted
into the industrial control systems (ICSs). While these IT technologies offer high flexibility …

Laminated glass is made by joining two or more glass layers together using a polymeric
interlayer which can significantly minimize the risk of flying shards and dissipate a great deal …

Bridge piers have a high risk of being attacked in wartime, which has the potential to trigger
progressive bridge collapse. This study aims to predict the failure probability of reinforced …

The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the failure probability of a blast in a shallow
RC tunnel. The field blast tests are carried out, and a refined finite element model (FEM) is …

Columns are the key load-bearing elements in frame structures and exterior columns are
probably the most vulnerable structural components to terrorist attack. In this paper, a spatial …

Numerical simulations are carried out to estimate the response and damage of unreinforced
brick masonry walls subjected to explosive blast loading based on the transient dynamic …

We evaluate, for the US case, the costs and benefits of three security measures designed to
reduce the likelihood of a direct replication of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. To do so, we assess …

Damage to building load-bearing members (especially columns) under explosions and
impact are critical issues for structures, given that they may cause a progressive collapse …
