Manynationshavebecomevictimsofterrorism. Bombshaveexplodedinand
around buildings and other structures. Such events have generated
cons- erable concern over the ability of countries and governments
to protect - stallations and their occupants against a potential
threat of terrorism. Many countries have established defence
agencies and research councils who are currently examining the
structural integrity of existing buildings and other vital
installations. In some countries codi?ed methods have been
developed together with the design methodologies and construction
techniques to try to protect old installations against vehicle bomb
e?ects in particular. The purpose of this book is to give an
exhaustive study of buildings structures resistingexplosion with
and withoutexternal/internalimpactand ?recaused by such e?ects. A
number of case studies with damage scenarios are included. The book
is divided into various chapters. Chapter 1 gives a review of
bomb-a?ected buildings. Case studies incl- ingAlfred P. Murrah
Federal Building in Oklahoma and World Trade Center (WTC) Twin
Towers in New York have been given a wide coverage. Notable
explosionsintheworldwithrelevantdataaretabulated. Afterthesethed-
age scenario of the Pentagon building is fully described. This
chapter now resorts to the availability of data on major explosive
elements, their ingre- ents and material properties.
