Description
Summary:This report has presented a review of experimental and finite element research on RC slab and walls with/without FRP retrofitted subjected to blast loading. It can be seen that FRP retrofitted structure component has a much better blast resistance by increasing of strength and ductility than non-retrofitted case. For non-retrofitted RC slab and wall, there are some engineering tools and design guide lines existing based on test results or finite element results, but for FRP retrofitted RC slab and wall, there is no such fast running tool. So it is a task to develop such running tool to guide the application of FRP retrofitted structure. Test work and FE work should be both carried out to finish this task.
