INTRODUCTION
Blast and need to study it as a loading-
Different types of explosion-
a) Vapour cloud explosion,
b) Vessel explosion,
c) Dust Explosion and
d) Condensd phase explosion
Different types of Blast loading-
a) Free-air bursts
b) Air bursts
c) Surface bursts
Terminologies of blast loading-
• Stand off distance
• Height of bursts
• Overpressure
• Reflected overpressure
• Side-on over pressure
• Transit time
• Shock wave-front
HOW BLAST LOAD IS DIFFERENT FROM SEISMIC LOAD?
