ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractA combined experimental and analytical investigation was conducted at the University of Ottawa to assess the performance of blast-resistant window retention anchors to generate design information. The experimental phase of…
AbstractA comprehensive experimental investigation was conducted on blast-resistant window anchors involving 46 tests of double-pane insulated glass units (IGUs) anchored to structural steel, reinforced concrete, concrete block masonry, and stone…
AbstractThe spurt in terrorist activities worldwide has drawn the attention of engineers and researchers to the vulnerability of building structures to blast loads. Response of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames…
AbstractA pressure-impulse (P-I) diagram provides a quick tool to assess the resistance of a structural system to blast loads, based on a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) analysis. Thus, instead of performing…
AbstractCorrugated steel-concrete-steel (CSCS) panels have considerable potential for resisting blast loads. They replace flat steel plates of steel-concrete-steel (SCS) panels with corrugated steel plates on the protected side. In this…
