Based on the fundamentals given in previous chapters, the actions of impact, penetration and perforation are discussed, followed by the contact detonation. A specific section is devoted to blast design. If a building or a structural element has faced exceptional loads, its residual carrying capacity is of interest. The chapter ends with a description of a number of projects that have been set up.

Recently, an energy-based alternative to P-I diagrams, known as Energy vs. Energy Rate (E-R) diagrams, was proposed. E-R diagrams are another tool for structural design and damage assessment from an energy flow perspective. This paper describes a study to assess and compare these two analytical approaches, and to provide examples for illustrating the findings.

A modified procedure for analyzing and designing reinforced concrete beams is developed. The method provides a

The developed study is based on the incremental theory of plasticity with the initial incremental plastic moments calculated by the iterative procedure. The yield criterion is proposed for the structurally orthotropic 2D sandwich plates. It combines Hill's criterion for naturally orthotropic material and Ilyushin's criterion for isotropic plates

Therefore, structures have to be designed to prevent such disproportional consequences. Connection is an important contributor to ductility and robustness of the structural steel systems in mitigating such consequences. The aim of this study was to derive a better understanding of how steel connections behave under high-speed loads by means of characterizing their resistance, ultimate strength, and ductility in the form of load–impulse diagrams. The established high-strain-rate resistance properties were applied into simplified frame analyses. The accuracy and cost-effectiveness of the approach were then evaluated comparing the results from detailed and simplified models.

An uncoupled analysis of the problem is performed where the solid body is not allowed to move or deform. The numerical simulations are designed to mimic the ...

Although it is well understood that blast loads can induce different failure modes in structural panels [4], recent studies of cladding panels under blast loads address only the positive loading phase [5].
