Description / Abstract:
This Practice describes the minimum requirements for the design
of permanent (non-temporary) blast resistant buildings including
requirements for selection of structural systems, analysis methods,
and design of ancillary items such as doors and openings. This
Practice also contains design criteria for non-structural items
(e.g., suspended architectural or electrical items, HVAC ductwork,
etc.) that could pose a hazard to the occupants of blast resistant
buildings.
Purpose
This Practice provides structural design criteria for blast
resistant buildings.
