Due to the fine aggregate content the mortar can have better flowability and be more readily moulded or cast into curved shapes. Further, the Applicant has recognised that some mortar-based composites (described in more detail below) can be made significantly more ductile than other conventional construction materials, which means that they can be actively deformed into a curved configuration with a lower risk of undergoing brittle fracture.

  • Using a hybrid of polymer and steel fibres to reinforce mortar has been found to be particularly effective in increasing the mortar strength and preventing cracks from appearing. While the polymer fibres make the panels less susceptible to explosive spalling, the addition of steel fibres significantly reinforces the surface layers that normally suffer from fragmentation under blast effect.

  • a construction has been found to improve the material's ductile response to explosions.
  • the bulk metal reinforcement does not reach the surface(s) of the panel where it could result in spalling in the presence of a fire.
  • the optional polymer fibre reinforcement in the surface layers can ensure that the panel has sufficient fire resistance.
  • the metal fibres outside the core volume can help to significantly reinforce the surface layers that might otherwise be fragmented by blast effects.
  • An embedded 3D network of wire cells has been found particularly beneficial in providing a "spring" effect that absorbs shock wave energy induced by a blast.
  • the wire cells can be formed from any metal wire, for example steel.
  • the infrastructure provided by a 3D network of metal wires also has a significant effect in maintaining the integrity of the construction, which increases the fire resistance and prevents explosive spalling when exposed to high
  • Such a construction is therefore ideally suited for use in fire-blast protection systems which provide protection for buildings, tunnels, industrial premises (or any other structures) against events of: a) blast only (including terrorist attacks); b) fire only; or c) fire and blast at the same time.
  • the panels can be produced in various thicknesses to resist a wide range of blast forces. For example, if a blast resistant system is used for cladding or protecting existing walls, the panels can be 10-25 mm thick. If the system is to be used to erect a new building, the panels can be manufactured in larger thicknesses such as 50-100 mm. The relatively small thickness of the panels makes them lightweight and logistically efficient. Their ability to resist fire and blast forces, their low cost, their light weight and narrowness, make the panels unique.
  • the fibre content can be adjusted e.g. depending on the composition of the mortar and its strength. It may be preferred that the fibre content is not too high, so that the fibres do not unduly hinder the cement mortar in impregnating the network of 3D wire cells. However the fibre content may be higher than in known UHPFRC compositions.
  • a mortar-based material is made from 970 kg of dry cement, 156 kg of steel fibres and 1.5 kg of polypropylene fibres per m 3 of panel. Thus the fibre content may be around 10- 20%, e.g. around 15%, by weight as compared to the dry cement in the mix.

  • the fuse bolts 12 are designed to fail under high explosion impact, thereby relieving the blast pressure on the panel face. It is recommended that 6-12 bolts 12 are used on the perimeter of the rear face (away from blast) of the panel 1 depending on the panel's fitting procedure, as shown in Figure 16. In case of high explosion load the bolts fail under the impact impulse. A failed bolt 12' is seen in close-up after the blast. This will absorb the blast impact energy and relieve the blast pressure on the panels 1 and significantly increase the system's blast resistance capacity.
