We supported Sorba throughout the design process, in particular helping them to design robust blast resistant cladding solutions for a variety of different material types.
Steel-framed buildings are a popular form of construction due to their ease of design, speed of construction, and good levels of sustainability throughout their life-cycle.
For quite a number of years, assessments have been required to be made on the blast resistance of any occupied buildings, such as Control Rooms, in petrochemical facilities.
DGA have developed, and validated, a series of finite element models which allow for the prediction of the efficacy of hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) assets undergoing a vehicular strike.
D J Goode have been conmissioned to demonstrate, via an explicit dynamic finite element analysis, that the above design criteria may be met for a reinforced concrete panel design subjected to a blast load.
In recent times the need to protect ourselves from hazards of explosive or ballistic attacks, either as a result of an accident or terrorist activity, has increased.
