Multiple Dissipative Devices for Blast-Resisting Cable-Supported Glazing Façades

The paper analyzes the structural response of a high-level air blast loaded cable-supported façade. Since the glass panels and the cables present a typical brittle behavior and are subjected to elevated tensile stresses when a high-level explosion occurs, multiple dissipative devices are simultaneou...
