Abstract:
The Oklahoma City Bombing is used as a case study to demonstrate how structural damage investigations can lead to code changes and improvements in design. This paper describes the use of seismic detailing to improve blast resistance. Such detailing has been incorporated into the soon to be published ASCE/SEI Standard on Blast Protection of Buildings.
