Abstract:

In India, important buildings are exposed to terrorist attacks. The structures are usually not designed to resist such extreme loading condition and the structure will collapse when it subjected to extreme loading conditions. If seismically designed structures are resistant to extreme loads, ie.blast loading, then we can avoid the tedious calculations and produce economical sections. In this paper, the behavior of conventionally detailed column was compared with a seismically detailed column under both blast loading and axial loading conditions.
