Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are vulnerable to explosion loading, especially under close-in detonations. Recently, externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets have been used as strengthening layers to improve the blast resistance of structural components. Due to limited pu...
