Modeling the Nonlinear Behavior of Concrete Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Steel Studs under Blast Loading
Abstract
This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation of one-way unreinforced masonry (URM) walls retrofitted with externally anchored steel studs and subjected to blast loads. Using the wall geometrical and material properties, deflected shape, and crack pattern as input, a nonlinear model is developed to predict the inward force-displacement relationship of the retrofitted walls. In addition, using a rigid body analysis, a simple …
