A Concise Overview of Numerical Simulation Tools and Techniques for Anti-Explosion Response Prediction of Infrastructures and Facilities

In the wake of recent devastating explosions, like the tragic blast in Lebanon's Beirut City, there has been a growing recognition of the need for blast-resistant design. Previously, this type of design was mainly reserved for critical infrastructures such as embassies and military facilities....

Previously, this type of design was mainly reserved for critical infrastructures such as embassies and military facilities.
