This paper provides an overview of key issues related to the survivability of steel buildings subjected to explosive load incidents, and an outline of required research to address some of the problems that were identified in previous studies. Explosive loads associated with high explosive devices are expected to induce significant localized structural damage that could evolve into massive structural collapse. Recent numerically simulated responses of individual structural steel elements and connections to such loads have raised serious concerns about their ability to survive explosive loading incidents. Blast resistant structural systems are designed according to various guidelines, some of which are based on simplified assumptions whose suitability might be questioned. Furthermore, the relationships between localized structural damage and numerically-simulated progressive collapse have highlighted very complicated nonlinear dynamic phenomena. These phenomena require further investigation using more realistic representations of the corresponding issues. Code: *************************************** |
