"Combined experimental and theoretical study on the blast response of a" by Idan E. Edri, David Z. Yankelevsky et al.
This paper studies the nonlinear dynamic response of arching masonry walls to blast load. The methodology combines laboratory blast testing and nonlinear dynamic modeling of arching one-way masonry walls and their response to blast load. The paper aims at enhancing the understanding of the dynamic and nonlinear physical response of the structural system. The experimental phase focuses on a one-way arching masonry wall tested in a blast simulator. The test is designed to explore global and local ...
