Popis: The Portland Cement Association’s Blast Resistant Design Guide for Reinforced Concrete Structures provides a practical treatment of the design of cast-in-place low rise concrete structures to resist the effects of blast loads. The Guide is a self-contained reference document that contains chapters on basic security design principles, blast pressures and building loads, analysis and element design, detailing and progressive collapse. Numerous examples based on a hypothetical office building and multiple explosion scenarios are provided to illustrate key concepts associated with blast-resistant design.
