Abstract :
FOI has for many years conducted experiments and developed models for assessment of damage and protective capacity of buildings exposed to weapon effects. The main tools used for these types of assessments are large scale, empirical based evaluations and more detailed finite element analyses. In this paper we present the tools that have been developed and the ongoing work at FOI in this area.
