This course demonstrates how significant blast resilience and resistance is possible with careful design, planning and detailing of a structure.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

  • Describe structural responses to blast loading with reference to ‘equivalent single degree of freedom’ analysis

  • Use pressure impulse diagrams for approximate response assessment

  • Employ principles and guidelines for protective design against the effects of blast for concrete, steel, masonry and façade elements

  • Understand Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

  • Apply thoughts on sustainability into blast design

Intended for

  • Graduate engineer

  • Mid-career engineer

  • Senior engineer/Team leader/Manager
