Effect of Blast Loading on Seismically Detailed RC Columns and Buildings

“…Terrorist bombing is currently regarded a threat to almost all countries around the world. Highly populated and commercial districts are usually the target of terrorist bombing, which leads to loss of human lives, damage of structures and infra-structure in addition to serious negative impact on security and economy [1]. Bombing methods include projectiles, explosive devices, car bombs, fuel tanks and others.…”

Static and dynamic behavior of concrete slabs reinforced with chemically reactive enamel-coated steel bars and fibers

“…However, the effect of CRE coating on the mechanical behavior or failure model of RC slabs under dynamic loading is yet to understand, particularly when CRE-coated steel fibers are added to the slabs. It is of great significance to obtain a full view of the effect that CRE coating has on the mechanical behavior and failure mode of slabs before enamel coating is introduced to the practical design of concrete structures for various performance objectives, such as blast load resistance (Dusenberry, 2010), punching failure prevention under point loads, and bending failure prevention under line loads (ACI, 2014). This paper aims to investigate the effect of CRE coating on the overall behavior of concrete slabs reinforced with steel bars and fibers under static and dynamic loading.…”
