Abstract

Nowadays, the development of technology is increasing hence the probability of accidental explosions such as
incident blasts, mine explosions, and terrorist attacks has increased; protecting important structures against explosive
impacts has become a great concern. Hence, the current research is aimed to design a New Structural Concrete Barrier Wall Under the Effect of Different Impact Loads Using Biomimicry Technique compared to traditional barrier wall. The results showed that the new designed configuration gave a lot better performance than the flat traditional configuration in the blast loading resistance. Also, it is concluded that using the bio-mimic concept has a notable effect on reducing blast pressure. The results showed that changing the shape of a wall barrier from flat to doubled curved and cones on
flat wall has a better performance in mitigating the effect of blast waves with ratio up to 26% in comparison with the traditional flat barrier wall.
