Progressive collapse of building structures under blast and impact loads has attracted great attention all over the world. Progressive collapse analysis is essential for an economic and safe design of building structu...
In order to design and retrofit a subway station to resist an internal blast, the distribution of blast loading and its effects on structures should be investigated firstly. In this paper, the behav-ior of a typical s...
The identification of the critical infrastructure has shown that the build civil engineering infrastructure is almost involved everywhere, even with the IT-infrastructure. Therefore, the passive safety of structures i...
A probabilistic risk assessment procedure is developed which can predict risks of explosive blast damage to built infrastructure, and when combined with life-cycle cost analysis, the procedure can be used to optimise ...

To effectively reduce the damage to people and devices in civil defense engineering subjected to blast shock, a blast shock isolation system with magnetorheological fluid dampers (MRFD) is proposed. MRFD can provide c...
The dynamic characteristics and failure modes of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns subjected to blast loading are complicated because of the transient stress wave in the SRC columns and the interaction between s...
Simulating blast and fragment loading simultaneously in a single computation requires the combined use of multiple states of the art solvers. A pipe bomb is an example of simple improvised explosive device (IED) tha...
