We got two research grants to study the global behavior of structural elements under close-in detonations based on fast-running tools and relatively simple but accurate methods. Current design standards (e.g. CSA S850-12, ASCE/SEI 59-11, UFC 3-340-02, and others) suggest using nonlinear equivalent SDOF systems to study the global response of structural elements to blast loads.…

We presented our research at the 6th International Conference of Protective Structures (ICPS6)

We presented our research at the 6th International Conference of Protective Structures (ICPS6) which was held last week at Auburn University, Alabama, in the United States. Dr. Hezi Grisaro presented an overview of a project on the response of wide-flange steel sections under close-in detonations, which was done together with Prof. Jeff Packer and Michael…
