An interesting experimental study by Jaswanth Gangolu, PhD and Hezi Y. Grisaro, PhD for assessment of the residual axial capacity of damaged columns after being exposed to explosive detonation
I am excited to share some insights from our recent experiment on the residual axial capacity of steel beams subjected to close-in detonations. I was fortunate to lead this work under the guidance of Hezi Y. Grisaro, PhD, with outstanding technical support from Elhanan Itzhack and Eduard Gershengoren. Our experiments yielded intriguing results on how stiffeners influence the residual axial capacity of damaged beams under these extreme conditions. Curious to learn more? Check out our detailed findings here: https://lnkd.in/dZ2aNM6W Can someone provide insights into whether the residual axial capacity is higher with or without stiffeners when a steel beam is subjected to a close-in detonation on its weak axis?
