EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BLAST RESISTANCE ON BFRP BAR-REINFORCED CELLULAR CONCRETE SLABS FABRICATED WITH MILLIMETER-SIZED SATURATED SAP

Experimental Study of Blast Resistance on BFRP Bar-Reinforced Cellular Concrete Slabs Fabricated with Millimeter-Sized Saturated SAP

An innovative cellular concrete procured with sat-SAP (superabsorbent polymer) is introduced.Combined with BFRP bars, this concrete may play a role as protective structures in marine applications.Eight BFRP-reinforced cellular concrete slabs (BSs) and three steel-reinforced normal concrete slabs (SPs) are exposed to simulated blast loadings in a sh
