Summary

Interpretation and application rules for the design and evaluation of building structures with regard to their safety and reliability during blast load. External and internal explosion of condensed explosives, a cloud of dust and gas mixtures. Basic requirements on the parameters describing the explosion as accidental actions and load characteristics of the building structure.
Principles of design and assessment of structures under blast load according to the theory of limit states. Design states assessment of the design in an explosion. Assessment of risk for design load blast effects.
