What is Blast-Resistant Building Design Basics about?

This document discusses blast loading and how to calculate loads on buildings from explosions. It defines key terms like overpressure, impulse, and shock front velocity. It then shows an example calculation of blast loads on a sample building subjected to an 8 psi side-on overpressure. Loads are calculated for the front, side, and rear walls as well as the roof. Reflected pressures, reduction factors, and arrival times are accounted for based on the building geometry. The next part will discuss calculating
