In recent years, the increasing terrorist attacks over the world caused a heavy loss in people and property, the Poor performance of buildings against the explosion triggered panic among the people. This research aims to study the resistance elements of reinforced concrete structures against the blast load.

This paper aims at investigating the behavior of a cantilever beam in reinforced concrete frame modified by steel fibers. The study depends on adding steel fibers at the joint of the beam-column section to improves the ductility of the beam-column joint. Steel fibers of the ratio (0.5%) and (1%) steel fibers by volume added for two specimens compar...
Ductility can be defined as the “ability of material to undergo large deformations without rupture before failure”. The use of Glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars instead of steel in reinforcing concrete structures is currently encouraged by many structural engineers, especially for their lightness and non-corrosive properties. The study com...
The modern research is aimed to enhance the tensile properties of concrete so that its performance should be made better in various reinforced concrete structures. In the current study, twenty hybrid-fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) columns and one plain concrete column were cast to examine the effect of hybrid-fibers on the axial capacity, load-de...
The paper presents the concept of a protective structure in the form of a prefabricated reinforced concrete protective dome intended for protection of a single critical infrastructure facility [1]. Unlike non-movable cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures, the protective structure can be assembled and disassembled repeatedly with the use of d...
Reinforced concrete short corbels are structural elements which have supporting role in reinforced concrete beams specially in precast structures. Corbels are widely used to transfer the vertical and horizontal loads to primary structural members. In addition, CFRP laminates are beneficial materials for strengthening of reinforced concrete structur...
