A detailed design of anti-explosion scheme was carried out before the experiment. The tests were conducted to observe the structural cracking, concrete collapse, and reinforcement peeling of FRP grid and mortar reinforced concrete arch under the explosion. In order to compare the anti-explosion performance with the protective arch structures in other literature, the explosion of 2 kg TNT with a blast distance of 600 mm was selected. After the explosion, it was found that the blast resistance of the FRP grid and mortar reinforced concrete arch was significantly higher than that of the unreinforced arch, and the concrete arch reinforced with FRP grid and mortar has a better damage patterns and improved blast resistance performance than that of the FRP and steel plate reinforced arch. According to the research results, the FRP grid and mortar composite reinforcement technology can be used to enhance the blast resistance of arch structures in protection projects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15207149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,17]],"date-time":"2022-10-17T02:29:46Z","timestamp":1665973786000},"page":"7149","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Experimental Study on the Blast Resistance Performance of FRP Grid &amp; Mortar Reinforced Concrete Arch Structure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Meirong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture Engineering, Nanjing Institute of Technology, Nanjing 211176, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shihu","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing Urban Construction Management Group Co., Ltd., Nanjing 210006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shikun","family":"Pu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Disaster Prevention & Mitigation of Explosion & Impact, PLA University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210007, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7664-7332","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Disaster Prevention & Mitigation of Explosion & Impact, PLA University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210007, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Disaster Prevention & Mitigation of Explosion & Impact, PLA University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210007, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhanzhan","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing Urban Construction Management Group Co., Ltd., Nanjing 210006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9707479","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/9707479","article-title":"Numerical Simulation of Damping Performance of Elastically Supported Underground Arch Structures Subject to Penetration and Explosion","volume":"2022","author":"Yuan","year":"2022","journal-title":"Adv.
