Elastomeric Polymers for Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Structures against the Explosive Effects of Blast

The main distinction of blast load from other types of dynamic loadings is its impulsive nature, where the loads usually act for a very short duration but transmit very high impulsive pressures. This paper presents an overview of the present retrofitting techniques in use to enhance the capacity of...
