Analysis and Corrective Study for RC Building under Explosion Loading

Abstract

Many of the existing buildings, which were not designed for blast loads, get damaged or even fully collapsed when subjected to such loadings. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of explosion on the structure and to suggest various safety measures to protect those in/around the building, which may get killed or injured by the collapse of the structure. If the structure is designed to resist the blast load impact, the cost of the structure tends to be very high and talking about civil buildings cost of the structure is one of the most important constraints and therefore it is avoided.
