A REVIEW ON DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF BUILDING UNDER BLAST AND SEISMIC LOADING
Keywords:
Blast load, Seismic load, Blast Wave, Explosion, Time history analysisAbstract
The aim of this study is to review the work carried out in past few years on blast effects on structures. A
blast explosion inside or surrounding the structure can cause severe damage to the structural and non-structural
members. The structure can be made blast resistant but not a blast proof in reality and also it is not an economical
option. The objective of this study is to shed light on blast resistant building design theories, the enhancement of building
security against the effects of explosives in structural design process and the design techniques that should be carried
out. The paper includes introduction and detail explanation on blast wave phenomenon. Also includes review on various
research on blast load and their effect on the structure studied in the past .
