Descrição
Resumo:Krauthammer (civil engineering, Center for Infrastructure Protection and Physical Security, University of Florida) addresses a broad range of scientific and technical issues involved in mitigating the severe loading effects associated with blast, shock, and impact. Presenting theoretical, numerical, and practical information, the book develops realistic guidelines for the analysis, design, assessment, retrofit, and research of protected facilities. After introducing a comprehensive risk management approach, the author provides general background on explosive devices and their capabilities, as well as explosive effects and the processes that generate them. He then discusses the effects of conventional and nuclear explosions, and considers the design differences between conventional and nuclear loads and between existing design procedures and state-of-the-art information from recent research. Additional coverage includes the behavior of specific structural connections, the traditional concept of P-I diagrams, and progressive collapse. The book concludes with a protective design approach.
