Analysis of the Dynamic Response in Blast-Loaded CFRP-Strengthened Metallic Beams

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) are good candidates in enhancing the blast resistant performance of vulnerable public buildings and in reinforcing old buildings. The use of CFRP in retrofitting and strengthening applications is traditionally associated with concrete structures. Ne...
