Experimental and Numerical Study of Polymer-Retrofitted Masonry Walls under Gas Explosions

Unreinforced masonry walls are extensively used in the petrochemical industry and they are one of the most vulnerable components to blast loads. To investigate the failure modes and improve the blast resistances of masonry walls, four full-scale field tests were conducted using unreinforced and spray...
