Concrete structures are engineered to withstand extreme dynamic loads, notably those imposed by blast events. The study of blast resistance and penetration mechanics involves understanding the complex ...
For decades, blast-resistant design was applied almost exclusively to military facilities. However tragedies such as the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11 attacks have spread concern for ...
