This document discusses the design of blast resistant structures. It covers types of blasts, principles of blast resistant design such as maintaining safe stand-off zones and minimizing debris, and guidelines for analysis including redundancy and ductile structure elements. It also describes procedures for analysis using pressure-impulse diagrams and finite element methods. Acceptable damage levels from minor to major are defined. The key differences between blast and seismic loads are outlined, and it is concluded that while withstanding any attack is impractical, performance can be improved through appropriate design processes.
