The scope of the conference will be broad, covering all the aspects of modeling explosive and impact loads, and protection of structures under such loads. Specific topics will include, but not be limited to:

1．Shock and stress wave propagation and interaction with structures
2．Explosive and impact loads on structures
3．Design of structures to resist explosive and impact load
4．Projectile Penetration
5．Behavior of structural elements under explosive and impact loads
6．Numerical simulation and modeling
7．Experimental techniques
8．Material behavior at high strain rate
9．Traffic barrier impacts
10．Retrofit materials and techniques
