Stress Wave Propagation and Structural Response of Precast Concrete Segmental Columns under Simulated Blast Loads

•Numerical simulations are validated against three different experimental blast tests•Investigation on stress wave propagation and their effects on the responses and failures of precast concrete segmental columns (PCSCs)•Influences of steel confinement on the blast response of the PCSC•The blast res...
