Development of damage prediction models for plain concrete and FRP strengthened RC plates under near-field blast and projectile impact effects by Tu, Huan

“…Since the protection of concrete structures is associated with the extent of caused damage, proper prediction tools are required to provide reasonable assessments on the vulnerability of structures to specific threats. Therefore, the research focuses in this thesis are to develop practical approaches to quantitatively predict local damage induced by near-field blast and projectile impact effects. …”
