This course will focus about the phenomena of blast load, the dynamic material strength, in addition to the concrete and steel structure design to resist the ballast 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.

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

• • 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).
  • Some tips for designing structures subjected to progressive collapse and rehabilitation techniques for existing buildings.

This course is designed for construction civil and structural and project engineers
