Since there have been more terrorist attacks in recent years due to technological improvement, it is necessary to take into account the dynamic effects of blast loading, such as wind and seismic load. The primary goal of this dissertation is to analyse different types of building system response against blast effects and blast loads that a structure might be exposed to, assess its vulnerability, and offer recommendations to the structural engineers on how to economically reduce the impact of blast on a structure while still protecting people and infrastructure from explosion. Total nine different models have been analysed as per IS 4991:1968 code provisions along with other lateral forces. Conventional RCC system, inverted V-type bracings and shear wall performance have been studied through Etabs models to check behaviour against blast loadings, an analysis of a 30-story building is conducted, and the impact of blast loading and standoff distance on the displacement and storey drift is explored. First, a basic explanation of explosives and different types of explosions. To further explain the effects of explosives on buildings, the general aspects of the explosion process have been provided. Understanding explosives and explosion characteristics better will help us create blast-resistant building designs much more effectively. Both an architectural and a structural approach is used to highlight key methods for enhancing a building's capacity to protect against explosive consequences.
