Damage assessment of reinforced concrete structures subjected to ground excitations

The primary objectives of the present study are: 1) to develop a reliable numerical method to simulate underground explosion, 2) to investigate damage of surface structures subjected to blast-induced ground motions, and 3) to derive desirable inhabited building distance of various structures located...

Description
Summary:The primary objectives of the present study are: 1) to develop a reliable numerical method to simulate underground explosion, 2) to investigate damage of surface structures subjected to blast-induced ground motions, and 3) to derive desirable inhabited building distance of various structures located on the surface area near underground ammunition storage.
