RESEARCH FOCUSED ON ASSESSING FRANGIBILITY OF STRUCTURES THROUGH NUMERICAL ANALYSIS.

SUBTITLE: IN ASSESSING THE FRANGIBILITY OF STRUCTURES NEAR RUNWAYS, FULL-SCALE TESTS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED ON LIGHT STRUCTURES AND ANALYTICAL METHODS DEVELOPED WHICH SHOW GOOD CORRELATION WITH TEST RESULTS. RESEARCH CONTINUES ON MODELLING IMPACTS WITH HEAVIER STRUCTURES -- AN IMPORTANT FURTHER STEP BECAUSE OF THE COST AND DIFFICULTY OF FULL-SCALE TESTING.
