Abstract
With the rising of terrorism and rapid urbanization around the world, increasingly more structures are exposed to the threats from accidental and hostile explosion loads. Unlike ductile behavior under static loads, a reinforced concrete structure can respond in a brittle manner with highly localized damage like concrete spalling, cratering, and reinforcement rupturing under close-in or contact explosions. Excessive deflection causes component damage leading to potential structural collapse. High speed fragmentation resulting from concrete spall may cause severe casualties and injuries. It is therefore important to have a better understanding of the structural behavior including structural deformation and concrete spall phenomena and fragments distribution.
