This study presents an advanced nonlinear numerical analysis using ABAQUS to assess the blast resistance of curved rubber-reinforced concrete (RRC) barrier walls. Four types of concrete, normal concrete (NC), and rubberized concretes with 10%, 30%, and 50% rubber particle volume fractions (RC10, RC30, RC50) were modeled and evaluated under blast lo...
