ABSTRACT Current reports on accidents in urban areas reveal the devastation of boundary walls and the consequent risks to human lives and property damage. The present study proposes to mitigate such risks through the development and application of a robust and shock-absorbent composite wall system to replace the normal concrete wall system. The paper adopted a comprehensive Finite Element (FE) study using ABAQUS and used the three-dimensional validated model to initially evaluate the selected four different innovative wall systems (Polypropylene fibre-reinforced composite, ECC-Concrete, ECC-Rubberised concrete, and Rubberised concrete-Concrete composite walls) to evaluate their structural performances under lateral impact and blast loads. The most suitable composition of the wall system is identified after comparing the impact resistance, blast resistance, and the energy absorption capacity of all the selected wall structures. Then, an optimisation study on the best-performed composite is conducted to propose the most appropriate geometric parameters for the composite wall. ECC-Rubberised concrete composite wall shows the least deflection at the selected magnitudes of impact loads and blast loads compared to the other walls. The energy absorption capacity of the ECC-Rubberised concrete composite wall is the highest among all the walls including the normal concrete wall.
