This paper presents the lateral stability of a multi-story building subjected to blast load. The basics of blast threats and the of blast wave interaction with buildings are studied here. It is about investigating the lateral stability of a structure modeled using SAP2000. Building is of 6 story is exposed to 100kg, 200kg, 300kg, 400kg and 500kg TNT with 6m stand-off distance. The blast loads are considered using the approaches defined in section 5 of TM5-1300 (UFC 3-340-02) and for the analysis of the dynamic load of the blast, a nonlinear modal analysis is used. The total drift and the inter-story drift are the primary parameters that determine the performance of the structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
