Damage mechanisms of reinforced concrete shear walls under internal explosions: An analysis based on joint chamfering design

Key Points

• Internal explosions significantly impact reinforced concrete shear walls, resulting in multiple damage mechanisms.
• Key evidence identifies specific damage patterns, revealing a fifty percent increase in shear wall failure rates due to explosive forces.
• Analysis based on joint chamfering design applied to structural damage from internal explosions in engineering models.
• Findings highlight the importance of innovative design methods in improving the resilience of concrete structures.
