Analytical and experimental evaluation of steel sheets for blast retrofit design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Blast resistant design has come to the forefront of engineering concerns in the wake of recent terrorist threats to the United States. The focus of ...
Evaluation of stay-in-place PVC-formed concrete walls for blast design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the event of a blast, concrete might not have the toughness needed to absorb the large amounts of energy imparted, even with the moderate steel ...
Analysis and design of reinforced concrete wall systems for blast
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
, it is necessary to develop experimentally verified static resistance functions. In this dissertation, several concrete panel systems were experimentally and numerically analyzed, including concrete walls with different sheet retrofit systems and different sandwich...
