Blast Effects on Buildings

Summary

Understanding the assessment of building structures with regard to their safety and reliability under load blast. Analysis of parameters describing the blast load. Application of the theory of limit states for design and construction assessment blast load. Design structure for assessing the situation in the blast. Principle of simplifying the calculation of response structures for blast loads using 1D, 2D, 3D models construction and valuation uncertainty in determining response of the structure calculation. .Distances for the safe transfer of the effects of an explosion. Requirements analysis and evaluating the resistance of the structure, loaded explosion, according to Eurocodes.
