Terrorist attacks and accidental explosions produce extreme and unique loading on structures and can cause widespread damage to the building, its occupants and bystanders. Blast resistance building design provides structural integrity and acceptable levels of safety for buildings. The behavior of the building during a blast event dictated by the magnitude and location of the blast, as well as the structural properties of the building. Non-structural elements such as standoff distances, safety glass, and accessible building exits are also essential to create a level of safety. Blast resistant building design creates additional levels of safety and redundancy that protect the well-being of the occupant as well as the structural integrity of the building
