This paper investigates the structural performance of steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich composite system subject to impact and blast load. Novel J-hook shear connector was invented to prevent the separation of face plates from the concrete core. SCS sandwich specimens subject to 100 kg TNT blast a...
