Structures

Are you attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (16WCEE) in Chile January 9th-13th, 2017? Learn more about how you can use Extreme Loading for Structures for the performance based design of structures against seismic, blast, high wind, impact,...

This paper investigates the influence of structural arrangement on long-duration blast loaded annealed glazing via variable thickness, area, aspect ratio and edge support conditions. Initially, the findings of eighteen full-scale air-blast trials employing 33 annealed...
