Tephra cushioning of ballistic impacts : quantifying building vulnerability through pneumatic cannon experiments and multiple fragility curve fitting approaches

Ballistic projectiles are the most frequently lethal volcanic hazard close to the vent. Recent eruptions of Ontake in 2014 and Kusatsu-Shirane in 2018 showed that un-reinforced, timber-framed buildings - those typically considered highly vulnerable to the dangerous penetration of ballistics - provid...
