A Review of Blast Loading in the Urban Environment

Adam Ratcliff et al.

Summary: Urban blasts pose significant challenges due to interactions between blast waves and urban environment. This review discusses commonly agreed-upon concepts and behaviors, such as channelling and shielding, that describe urban shock wave propagation. It also explores urban characterisation metrics for predicting effects of urban blasts on global blast loading. The review highlights discrepancies and contradictions, indicating areas that require further research and clarification. Various numerical modelling programs are identified as validation and preliminary testing tools. The findings aim to inform future research decisions and topics.

Investigations of blast loads on a two-storeyed building with a gable roof: Full-scale experiments and numerical study

Weifang Xiao et al.

Summary: Designing buildings against explosion loads is a current research focus, with most studies focusing on block-shaped buildings with flat roofs rather than buildings with gable roofs. Previous research primarily relies on small-scale tests or simplified calculations, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive analysis of blast loads on entire buildings.
