Introduction

Design of Blast Resistant Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities

 

What are the Goals?

  • Familiarity with any problem and its solution in the concrete structure in the petrochemical industry and its causes of failure
  • Familiarize participants with the issues, standards, and procedures used to design structures that resist blast loads
  • Provide participants with in-depth knowledge of the principles of dynamic analysis
  • Develop basic competence in the use of available engineering methods for calculating blast loads and dynamic structural response
  • Provide an overview of the design approach used for typical construction materials (steel, concrete, masonry), Systems (shear walls and frames), non-structural components (doors and windows)
