This course will focus also about the phenomena of blast load, the dynamic material strength, in addition to the concrete and steel structure design to resist the blast load. The dynamic analysis technique will be presented. In addition the new materials as CFRP to be used to protect the structure from the blast load. The course content relies heavily on the recently revised ASCE publication, Design of Blast Resistant-Buildings in Petrochemical Facilities. In addition to the most practical aspects for different international specification and standard. The case study for design a control room and the specification of doors and windows in blast resistance building will be discussed.

The participants will be provided with detailed course material and will be familiarized with suitable way in concrete design in industrial structure. The engineer will be familiar with any problem and its solution in the concrete structure in the petrochemical industry and its causes of failure.

• • Familiarize participants with the issues, standards, and procedures used to design
    structures that resist blast loads.
  • Provide participants with in-depth knowledge of the principles of dynamic analysis.
    
    
  • Develop basic competence in the use of available engineering
    methods for calculating blast loads and
  • dynamic structural response.
  • Provide an overview of the design approach used for typical construction materials (steel, concrete, masonry),
  • Systems (shear walls and frames), non-structural components (doors and windows).
