Finite Element Analysis of Storm Shelters Subjected to Blast Loads. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 156
Man-hazard structures including both terrorist and intentional acts have been studied for decades by the military personnel, while most engineers in the civilian sector are not familiar with these types of structures. More broadly, the majority of the civilian design community is not well-versed in how to design properly for protection against extreme events. The main reason for this is a lack of information on evaluating design blast loads. Also structural behavior and response to these types of loads is quite complicated. The design and construction of public buildings to provide life safety in the face of explosions is receiving more attention from structural engineers especially in today's turbulent world. This book provides a comprehensive study on analyzing structures subjected to blast loads and studying the behavior and response of the different storm shelters under the effects of such loads.
