Abstract

Fortificated structures are subjected to severe loading conditions due to the effect
of blast explosions. A choice is to be taken to replace existing structures or to
upgrade using modern techniques. A comprehensive research program has been
undertaken between the Egyptian and the Canadian parties. The main objectives of
the conjunction program are to study the effect of blast loading on structural and
structural elements. Blast mitigation system has been proposed to window-glassing
and R.C. elements.
