Proper load combinations are required to ensure safe performance under blast loading. Combination c. is provided to withstand rebound. The equivalent static blast loads provided in this IP were calculated considering the dynamic response of a component based on the pressure loads and ductility limits from IP 4-3-2. To achieve expected performance, the component geometry, loading and allowable stress specified must be used in design.

To achieve expected performance, the component geometry, loading and allowable stress specified must be used in design. Due to the variability of soil properties and the significant magnitude of blast loads, foundation capacity should be based on site specific information. Doors can become projectiles at low overpressure blast loads. These requirements are the minimum standards to reduce the risk to occupants. The limitation on recess prevents the possibility of additional pressure reflection from increasing the loading on the door. Glass is a non-ductile material that has limited blast capacity. After breaking, the glass (shards, pellets or filmed pane) can pose a significant risk to personnel. These requirements represent minimum standards to reduce this risk. Interior glass may be loaded with the blast pressure if the structure is breached. These requirements are meant to provide a minimum protection for the occupants from any interior glass. Significant damage to the structure can occur without proper consideration of the dynamic effects of the blast on roof mounted equipment and the resulting loads on the roof. To prevent this situation, equipment is to be located at grade and secured against becoming a projectile.
