Enhancement of Blast Resistance of R.C Beams Using Micro/Nano Silica in Presence of Steel Fibers

An analytical investigation using ABAQUS/Explicit dynamic analysis was carried out to investigate the effect of using Micro/Nano silica in the presence of steel fibers on improving the dynamic response of reinforced concrete beams. According to the results of Magnusson and Hallgren's experimen...
