Description / Abstract: This Practice describes the minimum requirements for the design of permanent (non-temporary) blast resistant buildings including requirements for selection of structural systems, analysis methods, and design of ancillary items such as doors and openings. This Practice also contains design criteria for non-structural items (e.g., suspended architectural or electrical items, HVAC ductwork, etc.) that could pose a hazard to the occupants of blast resistant buildings.
