Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGlass Strength for Impact and Blast LoadingMatthias Förch, Frank WellershoffGlass strength is highly influenced by strain rate. This material behaviour is well known in structural glass design and implemented in various standards. The strength of architectural glass is determined by component tests with a defined strain rate of 2 N/(mm2s), providing favourable terms for testing. As typical effects of actions on facades result in lower or higher strain rates, … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 7 May 2021 · 8,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleScreening of Blast Resistance Genes from South Tapanuli Rice Cultivars, North Sumatra, IndonesiaSaleha Hannum, Hesti Wahyuningsih, Riyanto Sinaga et al.Rice blast disease caused by a phytopathogenic fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, has been considered as a major threat to global rice productivity, including Indonesia. South Tapanuli is a regency in North Sumatra, known for its intensive and significant rice production activities. A collection of 13 rice cultivars originating from the region, is claimed for its resistances against the rice blast disease … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 25 May 2020 · 7,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTime-Temperature Dependency of Laminated Glass Subjected to Blast Load – A Numerical StudyMatthias FörchThe behavior of laminated glass has strong time-temperature dependency. Viscoelastic material models are often employed to define mechanical properties of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), the most common interlayer for structural glass applications. However, it is an apparent notion to simplify the high complexity of such material models, as only specific software is capable of considering this behavior. Most studies in blast … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2020 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling, Simulation and Optimization of Steel Sandwich Panels under Blast LoadingSayed M. Soleimani, Nader H. Ghareeb, Nourhan H. ShakerHoneycomb sandwich panels are commonly preferred in structural engineering as a design element meant to protect against blast loading, and this owes primarily to the fact that they are light in weight (due to the voids present) whilst carrying high energy absorption capacities. A widespread surge in acts of terrorism, and the resultant threat posed to structures, presents structural engineers … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study on Nuclear Blast Overpressure on Buildings and other infrastructures using Geospatial TechnologyC. Vijayaraghavan, D. Thirumalaivasan, R. VenkatesanAn Improvised Nuclear Device or nuclear bomb of yield 10 kiloton to 20 kiloton explodes in any major city due to terrorism or any other reason can cause catastrophic damages on the building's and other infrastructures and also shutting down of critical life-safety systems.. The explosion may produce blast overpressure, thermal radiation and harmful instant and delayed nuclear radiations. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2012 · 8,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnvironmental and Safety Accidents Related to Blasting OperationLazar Kricak, Vladislav Kecojevic, Ivan Jankovic et al.The blasting process remains a potential source of numerous environmental and safety accidents. The majority of these accidents were contributed to the flyrock and lack of blast area security. A field-scale investigation related to flyrock accident was conducted in an andesite quarry where rocks up to 50 cm in diameter were propelled almost 300 m from the center of blasting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2012 · 8,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite Element Analysis of Composite Hardened Walls Subjected to Blast LoadsGirum S. UrgessaProblem statement: There is currently no standard design guideline to determine the number of composites needed to retrofit masonry walls in order to withstand a given explosion. Past design approaches were mainly based on simplified single-degree-of-freedom analysis. A finite element analysis was conducted for concrete masonry walls hardened with composites and subjected to short duration blast loads. Approach: The analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of an Automatic Blast Furnace through Integrated Simulation ModelingAli Azadeh, S. F. GhaderiThe objective of this study was to develop an integrated simulation model of an automatic blast furnace in a full-scale steelmaking factory. The integrated simulation model introduces a set of optimizing alternatives through sensitivity analysis. The simulation model is built by considering all major and detailed operations and interacting systems of the blast furnace workshop. The workshop is composed two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Assessment of Blasting Vibrations: A Case Study on Quarry OperationAlessandro Giraudi, Marilena Cardu, Vladislav KecojevicProblem statement: One of the major environmental concerns related to blasting operation in mining and civil engineering projects is ground vibration. Approach: This study presented an assessment of ground vibrations caused by the blasting experiments at a marlstone quarry in northern Italy. The primary goal of this study was to determine the vibration level in order to protect dwelling area … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
