An Analytical Solution for Dynamic Response of Water Barrier Subjected to Strong Shock Waves Caused by an Underwater Explosion to Dams

Shock waves arriving at a dam site are close to plane waves when the center of an underwater explosion is far from the dam site. In general, the wave pressure is calculated with COLE empirical formula. The COLE formula is a negative exponential function with respect to time. In this paper, a new ana...
