This guide explains the approach to the design of buildings to optimise their resistance and to provide simple techniques for maximising the potential of a building to give protection against explosive effects. It incorporates the following key features:

design objectives concerning the protection of people and equipment, and the minimising of damage to buildings;
basic guidelines for enhancing the resilience of buildings to blast loading;
methods for the design of buildings and using different construction materials
