Abstract

Mitigation of the blast risk associated with terrorist attacks and accidental explosions threatening critical infrastructure has become a topic of great interest in the civil engineering community. Unreinforced masonry walls typically have very low flexural capacities and tend to have brittle failure modes. In this research, an unreinforced one - way clay brick masonry wall strengthened with RC wall is simulated using the finite element program ANSYS and its behavior subjected blast loading is studied. A sensitivity study is performed to examine different parameters
