✦ Synopsis

The paper demonstrates the effect of an external explosion on the outer reinforced concrete shell of a typical nuclear containment structure. The analysis has been made using appropriate non-linear material models till the ultimate stages. The generation and the propagation of blast wave and its effect on a cylindrical structure are discussed. Parametric studies have also been performed for surface detonations of different amount of blast charges at a distance of 100 m from a nuclear containment shell. Critical distances have been evaluated for different amount of blast charges for nuclear containment shell.

The problem of the dynamic response of sandwich flat panels exposed to blast loadings is addressed. The sandwich model includes a number of non-classical effects such as the anisotropy and heterogeneity of face sheets, transverse orthotropy of the core layer, the geometrical non-linearities consider

The reinforced concrete slit shear wall system has been introduced recently as a new breed of earthquake resistant structures. Some theoretical and experimental investigations have been conducted to study the behaviour of isolated connecting beams and slit shear wall models under static load, but li
