Opis

Tackling the analytical, design, assessment, and hazard mitigation issues associated with short-duration dynamic loads, this book examines how impulsive loads affect various types of structures. It provides the necessary material to help ensure the safety of persons, assets, and projects. Coverage includes information on explosives, nuclear explosions, loads on structures, the behaviors of structural elements, dynamic response and analysis, internal shock, impulse diagrams, progressive collapse, and protective design. The book offers guidance from design manuals and features illustrations, charts, tables, solved problems, and case histories to supplement discussion.
