Possibilities of evaluation of the masonry wall affected by the explosion

Abstract

At present, emphasis is placed on the safety and durability of building structures due to the effects of external loads. Among the various external influences of the load, we can also include loads caused by the blast wave. Structures subjected to extreme loads such as explosion are structurally disrupted in a manner different from that of static or dynamic external loads. In construction practice, we are sometimes faced with the question of how to evaluate the state of a structure after an explosion. The article is focused on the possibility of evaluating the masonry wall affected by the explosion in terms of the expression of residual bearing capacity based on the laboratory tests and inspection in-situ.
