Blast and Fragment Impacts: Pre-study of strengthening of structures subjected to impulse loading

This project purpose is to do a summary of ongoing research of strengthening of concrete structures subjected to impact loading and its aim is to collect, analyse and summarise existing knowledge. A secondary objective is to propose a further investigation that should lead to recommendations for strengthening of concrete structures subjected to impact loading.

The project is carried out at the Division of Structural Engineering in the research group Concrete Structures

Keywords: Concrete, fibre reinforced concret, numerical anlaysis, material modelling, dynamic loads, blast wave, fragment impact, strengthening of concrete
