TYPES OF EXPLOSION
• Nuclear Explosion
• Chemical High Explosive
• Accidental Explosions
DESIGN PROCESS
• Step 1: Load Calculation
• Step 2: Determination of Member Properties
• Step 3: Model Representation
• Step 4: Trial Member Section
• Step 5: Dynamic Analysis
• Step 6: Deformation Criteria Check
• Step 7: Connection Design
• Step 8: Foundation Design
o FRONT WALL
• OVERPRESSURE RESULTING FROM INCIDENTAL
PRESSURE, Pso
1. From Client Specification Z=Scaled Distance
R
2. From Fig 2-7 & 2-8 for Z=3 R=Radial Distance from Charge
W W=Charge Weight
of UFC 3-340-02
• REFLECTED PRESSURE, Pr
P r = Cr Pso (Ref Eq 3.2 of ASCE for Blast Design)
Cr is reflection coefficient
Where Pso is in psi and this equation is for blast wave reflection of 00.
Ref Fig 3-2 of ASCE for Blast Design for other values
• STAGNATION PRESSURE, Ps
Ps = Pso+Cdqo (Ref Eq 3.7 of ASCE for Blast Design)
Cd is drag coefficient which depends on shape and orientation of
the obstruction surface. For rectangular building, drag coefficient
may be taken as +1.0 for front wall and -0.4 for side and rear walls
and for roof
8 Blast Resistant Design
FRONT WALL LOADING
• STAGNATION TIME, tC
3S
t c= < td (Ref Eq 3.8 of ASCE for Blast Design)
U
• For roof with slope less than 100 shall not experience any
reflected overpressure and shall experience same side-on
overpressure as side wall
• Refer Appendix 5.A of ASCE for Blast Design for SIF values.
13 Blast Resistant Design
o DYNAMIC INCRESE FACTOR, DIF
• Concrete and Steel material experience an increase in strength
due to rapid strain for blast load. For high strain rate greater load is
required for same deformation.
• Refer Appendix 5.A of ASCE for Blast Design for DIF values.
DYNAMIC ANALYSIS
• Equivalent Static Method
• Single Degree of Freedom Systems (SDOF)
• Multi-Degree of Freedom System (MDOF)
Me = KMM
KM = Equivalent mass/Total actual mass = Me/M
Fe = KLF
KL = Equivalent force/Total actual force = Fe/F
Rm is maximum resistance to
blast load
o DUCTILITY RATIO
• Ductility Ratio, µ = Maximum deflection / displacement at elastic limit.
• This is a measure of the degree of inelastic response experience by the
member
tn=period, 1 Me
t n= = 2∏
f Ke
o HINGE ROTATION
• It relates maximum deflection to span and indicates the degree of instability
present in the critical areas of the member.
Refer Appendix 5.B of ASCE for Blast Design for allowable deformation limits
FOUNDATION DESIGN
• Should be more rigid than conventional structural foundation
• Relative displacement between column and walls need to be
minimized in order to maintain structural integrity. This is accomplished
using grade beams to tie spread footings or pile cap or by using
combined mat foundation.
• Foundation can be analyzed by static analysis and dynamic analysis
