4-9.2 Ductile Mode of Behavior in the Far Design Range.
ln the far design range, the distribution of the applied blast load is fairly uniform and the deflections required to absorb the loading are comparatively small. Conventionallyreinforced (i.e., non-laced) concrete elements with comparatively minor changes tostandard reinforcing details are perfectly adequate to resist such loads. While lacedreinforcement could be used, it would be extremely uneconomical to do so.
