Numerical study on effect of constant and variable axial loads on RC column subjected to blast load [PDF]
Explosion is an instant release of potential energy, heat, temperature and sound producing a pressure wave that travels away from the source radially on which the resulting force the blast wave is a blast load.

Blast Load Assessment: RC Wall Subjected to Blast Load [PDF]
The evaluation of the pressure produced by blast load on the structure surface and selected location around with the aid of hydrocodes is studied in this paper. The existing knowledge of predicted blast pressure has been embraced in this paper for initial design in engineering application.

Characterisation of buried blast loading [PDF]
While it is well known that detonation of shallow-buried high explosive charges generally results in above-surface loading which is greatly amplified compared with the same detonation in air, uncertainty persists as to the mechanisms leading to this effect.

Influence of pulse loading shape on dynamic response of blast wall connectors
ObjectivesDuring the anti-explosion process, the deformation and damage of blast wall connectors can lead to anti-explosion failure. Therefore, it is necessary to study the structural response characteristics of blast wall connectors under explosive ...

The Origins of Blast-Loaded Vessels [PDF]
As the Manhattan Project shifted to the theory of implosion assembly in 1944, plutonium was extremely rare and large uncertainties surrounded the function of the Gadget. For these reasons, a team within the Manhattan Project began another ambitious experiment: to confine the effects of detonating two tons of high explosives and enable the recovery of ...
