Analysis of a reinforced concrete (RC) beam with an embedded spiral GFRP bar subjected to air blast loading
🔷 Introduction Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are widely used in both civilian and military infrastructure due to their strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. However, under extreme loading conditions such as air blast loads—resulting from accidental or deliberate explosions—conventional RC beams may experience severe damage, including spalling, cracking, or even failure. To improve blast resistance, advanced composite […]
Numerical analysis of the CFRP blanket effect on reducing the deformation of pipelines in soil exposed to the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian subsurface explosion
Introduction Pipelines are critical infrastructures for the transportation of oil, gas, and other essential resources. Among these, API 5L X65 grade steel pipelines are commonly used due to their strength and cost-efficiency. However, pipelines buried in soil are vulnerable to extreme events such as subsurface explosions, which may result from accidental or intentional detonations. These […]
Analysis of the blast protection wall system( wood cover-soil)
Terrorism has become a major challenge for the world. Terrorist organizations have raised their activities and their attacks in recent years using explosives. These attacks have left numerous numbers of victims, wreaked massive havoc on basic infrastructure, and increased global concern about the nature of these attacks. Blast wall protection systems can provide a required […]
