Efficient Measures to Mitigate Effects of Terrorist Bomb Attacks on Buildings

by Applied Element Method | Nov 2, 2015 | Journals

This paper aims to present concepts that can help structural engineers mitigate the threat of hazards associated with terrorist attacks on new and existing buildings. The first part of the paper briefly refers to the bomb blast effects, to the damage of exposed...

Structural Stability of Buildings Exposed to the Risk of Terrorist Bomb Attacks

by Applied Element Method | Oct 12, 2015 | Other Publications, Thesis

Terrorist acts of the past two decades have resulted in major changes in approaches further military actions, while having consequences for all areas of social life. Many of terrorist attacks targeted or collaterally affected buildings, destroying them entirely or...

Demolição de Edifícios de Betão Armado por Métodos Explosivos

by Applied Element Method | Nov 21, 2014 | Other Publications, Thesis

As time advances structures in Portuguese built areas start to show high levels of degradation. This suggests that when rehabilitation is no longer a viable option these structures need to be demolished. The demolition of structures by the use of explosives is a...

The Simulation of an Industrial Building Demolition

by Applied Element Method | Oct 16, 2013 | Journals

The paper presents a way of checking and optimization of a demolition scenario at an industrial building based on controlled blasting method in order to transition to the actual demolition of the building in question. For this purpose we used a specialized computer...

Aspects Concerning Progressive Collapse of a Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure with Infill Walls

by Applied Element Method | Jul 8, 2011 | Conferences

The present paper proposes modern approaches, nonlinear static and dynamic analysis procedures based on the Applied Element Method, to assess a progressive collapse problem of a RC frame structure with infill walls. Comparisons between the results of modeling...
