build bridges and buildings that are nearly blast-proof
It is possible to build bridges, buildings and other structures that are nearly blast-proof. The key to achieving the results is the use of interstitial grains of the right sizes to control energy propagation through the chain.
Tiny grains can absorb shocks like a sponge.
