* Hugely topical book, considering terrorist attacks on structures and infrastructures.
* Brings novel ideas to researchers and engineers in dynamic analysis of structures under combined actions of impact and blast loads.
* Presents practical discussions in finite element modeling and numerical analysis of different structures under extreme loads using high-fidelity software which can be very useful for students.
* Contains comprehensive state-of-the-art reviews on the performance of structures under extreme loads which can be very helpful for junior researchers who are beginners in impact and blast engineering.
* Presents novel damage indices for different structural members under extreme loads that can be promoted to practical instructions to be experimentally conducted in structural engineering laboratories and academic environments.
