(3 units). Overview of explosives and blast loads on structural and non-structural infrastructure components; dynamic analysis of elements under blast-induced shock waves and dynamic pressures; elastic and inelastic response; incremental equation of motion and nonlinear analysis; development of resistance functions; pressure-impulse (P-I) diagrams; design of blast-resistant buildings and building components, including glazed windows, curtain walls, and blast-resistant doors as per codes and standards; progressive collapse analysis; blast retrofits and blast-risk mitigation strategies. This course is equivalent to CIVJ 5189 at Carleton University. Course Component: Lecture
