Abstract

The terrorist explosion is dreadful for current world. In various explosive events, vehicle bomb explosion has been commonly used by terrorists to approach the targets. This paper evaluated and analyzed the minatory grades of various vehicle bombs, and calculated the failure distances of the buildings under the main impulse effect of air shock wave. Thereafter, a few kinds of setting methods of the blast resistant walls under various vehicle bombs are established. The research will provide effect protective measures for the survival ability of the important buildings under various vehicle bombs.
