Blast Action on Structures In Steel (BASIS) : final report
The objective of the BASIS project was to develop design guidelines for low to medium rise steel-framed buildings to resist explosions caused by industrial accidents. The focus was on situations where the blast impacts the whole (or a large part) of the elevation of the building facing the blast. This is distinguished from explosions caused by terrorist attack or internal accidental explosions where, whilst the damage may be localised, it can nevertheless have a disproportionate effect in the absence of a robust building design. Explosion tests were performed to quantify the distribution of blast actions on a building. These tests provided data which was used to determine the ability of analytical models to predict the reflected blast overpressure on buildings. The data was also used to provide guidance on numerical modelling of blast/structure interaction. Tests were performed to study the response of building components (cladding, connections and floor systems) to blast actions. Further tests were quantified the effect of transverse damage on a floor's in-plane stiffness and resistance. This is important since many buildings rely on floor diaphragm action for their stability. Numerical models, validated against the test data, were used in parametric studies of the building components. These in turn provided the basis for validating global models to study whole building response. The results were also used in the development of SDOF based software for the nonlinear analysis of steel and composite beams and building frames. The project led to the publication of the first European guide for the design of steel-framed buildings to resist global explosions.
