| Field trials to assess performance of full-scale RC columns subject to contact blast and estimation of their residual axial capacities using experiments and LS-DYNA simulations | Development of analytical models and validation using high-fidelity CFD (Air3D and AUTODYN) analysis to estimate blast pressure in confined environments including the effects of fluid-structure interaction | Development of analysis and design guidelines consistent with Indian and international codes (ASCE, UFC) for blast-resistant structures |
