Abstract

Civil infrastructural facilities, in the recent years, have been subjected to several instances of accidental or intentional blast loading. While this has motivated the global community in exploring the structural response of elements subjected to explosive charges, there still is a pressing need for exploring the structural response of members subjected to ‘cased explosive charges.’ Thus, the presented study aims at developing a theoretical framework which may be used for quickly and efficiently evaluating the response of structural elements subjected to cased explosive charges. The adequacy of the proposed analytical framework was further validated and on the whole, a fairly reasonable level of agreement was noted. The summarized framework was further used for assessing the severity exhibited by the cased explosive charges as compared to the bare (uncased) explosive charges. The reported preliminary investigations indicated that the cased explosive charge would be more severe as compared to bare charge.
