3.2 - Blast load cases

=> Blast load shall be applied on each individual component listed above in combination with permanent loads (e.g. self weight)
=> Rebound effects shall be account for by applying the load in the reverse direction in a static analysis

4- GLOBAL EXPLOSION LOADING (on supports)

4-1 - Blast load definition

=> The resultant average load on supports shall be defined according to the respective amount of grated and plated areas on the plate

4.2 - Blast load cases

=> The blast load shall be applied on each direction successively in combination with permanent loads (e.g. self weight)

5- ADDITIONNAL REQUIREMENTS

=> For decks, the global blast loading on supports (e.g. stools) wil depend on the number of simultaneously loaded decks.
This should be taken into account on a case-by-case basis

=> The explosion loads are the effective loads applied on items and already include the drag coefficient when necessary. Hence the
discipline in charge of the design shall set the drag coefficient to 1 (one) in its software if blast is considered as an equivalent wind load

6- NOTES
Note 1 :

Note 2 : A more accurate DAF may be determined by performing a modal analysis on a specific component otherwise the maximum expected DAF is used.
The equivalent static design pressure shall be modified according to the relation below when a specific DAF is available
