TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 645, Blast-Resistant Highway Bridges: Design and Detailing Guidelines explores code-ready language containing general design guidance and a simplified design procedure for blast-resistant reinforced concrete bridge columns. The report also examines the results of experimental blast tests and analytical research on reinforced concrete bridge columns designed to investigate the effectiveness of a variety of different design techniques.
