Abstract

Whenever a bomb explosion takes place, within or nearby a structure , it leads to a large catastrophic damage, on building’s exterior and interior components. Such as collapsing of wall , blowing of doors and windows and so on. A huge loss of life and injuries to people may also result due to direct blast –effects, debris impacts , fire and smoke. The response of a structure subjected to blast loading requires a detailed understanding of explosions and blast phenomenon. This paper presents a overview of effects of explosions on behavior of 1- bay 1-storey building , subjected to air or surface burst. This paper has also presented the procedure for estimating blast pressure on different faces of a building.
