Blast Resistant Design of an Embassy Building

Abstract:

The paper presents a generic design study for a 2500 square meter, 4-storey embassy building. It is designed to resist blast loads from an assumed Design Basis Threat (DBT) that is provided by the owner. The building structure consists of reinforced concrete columns, beams and slabs supported on pile foundations. The exterior walls are concrete block with stone veneer. The windows are double glazed with aluminum frames. The building is situated within a compound with a perimeter wall. There is no basement.
