Innovative design tool for the optimization of blast-enhanced facade systems

open access: yesJournal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2015
In current blast enhancement design strategies, to resist the effects of an accidental explosion, a facade system is commonly designed to behave in-elastically and undergo large deformations. The large deformation of the facade system leads to high blast
