architectural and structural design of blast resistant buildings - presentation
DESCRIPTION
The objective of this study is to shed light on blast resistant building theories, the enhancement of building security against the effect of explosives in both architectural and structural design process and the design techniques that should be carried out. Firstly, explosives and explosion type have been explained briefly. In addition, the general aspects of explosion process have been presented to clarify the effect of explosives on buildings. To have a better understanding of explosives and characteristics of explosions will enable us to make blast resistant building design much more efficiently. Essential techniques for increasing the capacity of a building to provide protection against explosive effects is discussed both with an architectural and structural approach.TRANSCRIPT

Objective Of The Blast Design
The primary objectives for providing blast resistant design for buildings are:• Reduce the severity of injury• Facilitate rescue• Expedite repair• Accelerate the speed of return
to full operations.

Major Causes Of Life Loss After The Blast
• Flying Debris• Broken glass• Smoke and fire• Blocked glass• Power loss• Communications breakdown• Progressive Collapse of
structure

Principles of Blast Resistant Design
Maintain safe separation of attackers and targets, i.e. STAND-OFF zones.
Design to sustain and contain certain amount of bomb damage. Avoid progressive collapse of the building.
Allow for limited localized damage of members

Minimize the quantity and hazard of broken glass and blast induced debris.
Facilitate rescue and recovery operation with adequate time of evacuation of occupants.

Blast Load Definition
• An explosion is a rapid release of potential energy characterized by eruption enormous energy to the atmosphere.• A part of energy is converted to
thermal energy radiation (flash) and a part is coupled as air blast and shock waves which expand radially.

Effects of Blast On The Structure

Basic Requirements To Resist Blast Loads
• The first requirement is to determine the threat. The major threat is caused by terrorist bombings. • The threat for a conventional
bomb is defined by two equally important elements,
![Page 13: Architectural And Structural Design Of Blast Resistant Buildings - PRESENTATION](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050804/554a239fb4c90520578b474f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
The bomb size (or) charge weight, The standoff distance – the
minimum guaranteed distance between the blast source and the target
• Another requirement is to keep the bomb as far away as possible, by maximizing the keep out distance.
• No matter what size the bomb, the damage will be less severe the further the target is from the source.

Planning And Layout
• Sufficient stand-off distance must be provided.• In case of congested areas
where there is no provision for stand off distance, bollards, trees or street furniture are to be provided as obstacles.

17
Stand Off Distance• Blockades, planters, fountains,
fences as obstacles to ramming vehicles or truck bomb.• Allow only emergency vehicle
access. • Raise the building 2m above
ground level

Roofs• Arches and
domes are the types of structural forms that reduce the blast effects on the building compared with a cubicle form.

Floorings• They must be
prevented from ‘falling off' their supports. Pre-cast flooring is to be avoided in case of blast resistant structures.
![Page 21: Architectural And Structural Design Of Blast Resistant Buildings - PRESENTATION](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050804/554a239fb4c90520578b474f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

failure of beam to column connections
Inability of the structure to tolerate load reversal
providing additional robustness to these connections can be significant enhancement.
Frame structures are deficient in 2 aspects:
Beam-to-column Connections

Wrapping of columns:
• Wrapping is done to done for external protection of columns and also to protect the column from shock waves. • Two types of wrapping can be
applied. Wrapping with steel belts or wrapping with carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP).

25
Shear Walls• Use a well
distributed lateral load resisting mechanism in the horizontal floor plan.
• Shear plan around the plan will improve the overall seismic as well as blast behaviour of the building.
![Page 26: Architectural And Structural Design Of Blast Resistant Buildings - PRESENTATION](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050804/554a239fb4c90520578b474f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Installations:•Gas, water, steam installations, electrical connections, elevators and water storage systems should be planned to resist any explosion affects.
Bomb shelter areas:•The bomb shelter areas are specially designated within the building where vulnerability from the effects of the explosion is at a minimum and where personnel can retire in the event of a bomb threat warning.

Glazing and Cladding:
• Glass from broken and shattered windows could be responsible for a large number of injuries caused by an explosion in a city centre.

Miscellaneous Measures
Partially or fully embed buildings are quite blast resistant.
Projected roofs and floors are undesirable
Single story buildings are more blast resistant than multi story buildings
Double- Dooring should be used.

1. Case Study – WTC Collapse
• On 11 September 2001, two passenger planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the WTC Towers in New York.
• The impact of the plane crashes directly caused significant structural damages to both World Trade Center towers.
• The multiple floors fires ignited by the jet fuel finally weakened the remaining structures and the towers collapsed.

2. Israel as a Case Study
• Israel has adapted military blast design to blast design to be used as a part of civilian structures.
• In the 1970s civilians in Israel were being threatened along its border with Lebanon.
• Throughout northern Israel rooms designed to protect a buildings inhabitants from an explosion were included in most homes as well as schools and public buildings

ConclusionIt is not practical to design buildings to withstand any conceivable terrorist attack.
It is possible to improve the performance of structures should one occur in the form of an external explosion.
Design process to ensure that appropriate threat conditions and levels of protection are being incorporated.
