This publication provides an overview of a design procedure for structures under blast loading. The analysis focuses on ways to estimate blast loading on structures and, to a lesser extent, on their response under such types of actions. Indicative examples of structures under explosive loads are also analyzed in order to provide designers practical guidance on how to deal with similar cases.
