Blast Resistance Concrete Structure Design Example: Part 2

This course  part 2 objective is to present the application of the blast resistance analysis and design for concrete structure by a complete example. This course is part 2 as in part 1 is focusing to cover the blast load phenomena and the materials properties values under blast load. This part present also the methods of analyzing the structure under blast load and part3 is the application on example  of blast resistance for the steel structure. In this part 2 presents the case study illustrates the application of blast analysis by using the graph method, the closed formula and also the single degree of freedom (SDOF) by the integration method will be applied. The Newark integration method is illustrated in part1 and in this part2 presents this method and apply it through an excel sheet. These methods for applying structure analysis will be applied for the roof deck, shear wall, and the foundation and this case apply for piles foundation to cover all the cases.

This case is applied for a control room which is most traditionally used in oil and gas plant and design of all its members is match with ASCE and most famous criteria in most oil and gas companies owner worldwide. The foundation design check for blast load will be discuss by checking the overturning, sliding and also design the foundation based on the maximum dynamic load.
