Impact of outdoor blast wave on building structure

The paper deals with the structure, loaded by explosion of outdoor charge. Evaluations of structures loaded by an explosion based on dynamic displacement and rotation round the central line of plate, wall or beam systems during the action of a dynamic load of this type have been of very topical interest in recent times, as regards the process of evaluating the effects of an explosion on a structure. For structure response calculation the empirical formulas of the explosion load parameters were used. These formulas were derived by the authors for small charges. As an example the paper is based on the variant theoretical dynamic response analysis of a rectangular masonry partition and its comparison with the results of experimental verification of the bearing capacity of the structure.
