Numerical study of the effectiveness of frp strengthening on steel plates to against blast loads

The consequences of accidental explosions on an offshore platform are often disastrous, with severe structural damage and loss of human life. This paper investigates whether Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is effective in strengthening steel structures against blast loads. Finite element anal...
