Description
Contents
Blast effects on buildings, second edition provides the latest practical guidance on designing buildings to optimise their resilience to blast loading. Focused specifically on the design of commercial buildings, it is an indispensible guide to help engineers reduce the risks posed to building occupants and businesses from terrorist and other explosions.The second edition has been fully revised and augmented to reflect significant developments in the field of blast engineering since the early 1990s.
