Blast Resistant Structures

BakerRisk's structural engineers specialize in analysis and design of structures to protect against airblast, fragment impact, and other impulsive loads. Examples are blast-resistant buildings, hazardous material production rooms, and blast containment chambers. We identify cost-effective structural solutions to solve our client's most challenging problems in projects involving new construction or modifications to existing facilities.

Dynamic analyses range from simplified methods based on semi-empirical pressure-impulse relationships, to intermediate methods involving single degree-of-freedom analyses of each critical component, to high fidelity dynamic finite element analyses (FEA) with tools such as ADINA or DYNA-3D.
