Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The more than 100 selected and peer-reviewed papers contained in this collection originally were presented at the Third International Workshop on Performance, Protection and Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading held August 30-September 1, 2011, in Lugano, Switzerland. It includes keynote lectures and papers on a broad variety of topics, including: free water influence on the dynamic tensile behavior of concrete, numerical modeling of honeycomb energy dissipating materials, a multi-scale fracture model for quasi-brittle materials, the influence of loading rate on shear failure resistance of RC beams, a numerical simulation of a terrorist attack, composite steel stud blast panel design and experimental testing, and real scale experiments on rockfall protection barriers. Editors are Cadoni and de Prisco, workshop chairmen.
