Uncoupled Analysis of Rc-Slabs under Near-Field Air Explosions: Examination of Various Empirical Equations to Simulate Blast Loads

Abstract

12In an uncoupled analysis, blast loads can be evaluated by empirical models, and then applied to the 13 structure in a separate response analysis. The literature includes a variety of empirical models. However, 14the potentials of these models may not be fully realized due to a wide variation that may exist in their
