Time-Response Analysis of Arching Unreinforced Concrete Block Walls Subjected to Blast Loads
Abstract
The new ASCE59-11 standards currently limit the use of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls in blast-resistant construction, regardless of the wall boundary conditions. This is attributable in part to the lack of experimental and analytical studies focusing on evaluating the response of URM walls under blast when the walls are forced to arch between the surrounding frame members. In this paper, the out-of-plane displacement response and structural …
