Experimental evaluation and modeling of concrete masonry unit walls
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Many military and government buildings in the US and abroad use frame structures with infill wall systems. Conventionally constructed infill wall systems do not exhibit...
Assessment of prestressed reinforced concrete box girder bridges under blast loads
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Significant research has been performed on the response and retrofit of buildings under blast loads. Limited research exists on the response prediction and protection of bridges...
Evaluation of innovative materials subjected to near-contact detonations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Some structures composed of brittle cast iron may be particularly vulnerable to terrorist attacks using near-contact detonations because of the lack of ductility and poor...
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 reinforcement present in many...
Evaluation of hybrid anchor system for blast resistant steel stud wall design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Steel stud wall systems are a common building material known for their low cost and ease of construction. However, standard building practices cause them to be inefficient...
