Blast Resistant Buildings
ABSTRACT
Blast resistant is a necessary part of design for
more building around the world.
Blast design is no longer limited to Underground
shelters and sensitive military sites, buildings used
by the general public daily must also have
satisfactory blast protection.
By looking at the experience of structural
designers over the past several decades it is
possible to see successful integration of Blast
design into mainstream buildings.

INTRODUCTION
Unconfined Explosion
1. Air Blast
Confined Explosion
When an explosion occurs within a building, the
pressures associated with the initial shock front
will be high and therefore will be amplified by
their reflections within the building. This type of
explosion is called a confined explosion.
Depending on the extent of venting, various
types of confined explosions are possible. (Figure

EXPLOSION
PROCESS FOR
HIGH EXPLOSIVES
Contd..
As the blast wave continues to expand away from
the source of the explosion its intensity diminishes
and its effect on the objects is also reduced.
Once the blast wave has formed and propagating
away from the source, it is convenient to separate
out the different types of loading experienced by
the surrounding objects.
Three effects have been identified in three
categories.

Installations
Gas, water, steam installations, electrical
connections, elevators and water storage systems
should be planned to resist any explosion affects.
Installation connections are critical points to be
considered and should be avoided to use in highrisk deformation areas.
