Abstract

Engineering structures such as buildings, highways, hospitals and bridges are all necessary structures for people to maintain their basic lives. In recent years, with the development of technology and the increase in wars, we have been witnessing the effects of the explosion phenomenon that occurred as a result of accidents or terrorist attacks in daily life. Within the scope of this study, the effect of explosions occurring in different scenarios around a building was examined. Within the scope of the study, a parametric study was carried out on a total of 72 scenarios using two different building models, 6 different explosive weights and 6 different concrete strength classes, and the dynamic responses of the elements constituting the building were examined. When the data obtained as a result of the studies are examined, it has been determined that the strength class of the concrete material, which constitutes the majority of the building, the explosive weight and distance, as well as the presence of the hollow geometry in the structure are of great importance and play an active role. Explosion resistant structures can be constructed using the parameters explained in the light of the results obtained.
