The Handbook for Blast Resistant Design of Buildings is a single reference that features contributions from some of the most knowledgeable and experienced consultants and researchers in blast resistant design.
As the demand for blast resistant buildings continues to grow, architects, designers, and engineers can turn to the Handbook for Blast Resistant Design of Buildings, a unique single source of information that offers comprehensive guidance on all the key elements of the design of blast resistant buildings that satisfy the new ASCE Standard for Blast Protection of Buildings as well as other ASCE, ACI, and AISC code. 512 pp.
This handbook is organized into four parts:
Part 1, Design Considerations, sets forth basic principles, examining general considerations in the design process; risk analysis and reduction; criteria for acceptable performance; materials performance under the extraordinary blast environment; and performance verification for technologies and solution methodologies.
Part 2, Blast Phenomena and Loading, describes the explosion environment, loading functions needed for blast response analysis, and fragmentation and associated methods for effects analysis.
Part 3, System Analysis and Design, explains the analysis and design considerations for structural, building envelope, component space, site perimeter, and building system designs.
Part 4, Blast Resistant Detailing, addresses the use of concrete, steel, and masonry in new designs as well as retrofitting existing structures.
