I've already calculated the blast pressure that will act on the building. However, I am not quite sure how can I apply this load to a building. Please, help me with this one. Thanks
Because I am not quite familiar with other software, besides this is just part of final paper in university as we are designing a structure that can resist blast loading. However, I don't know where or how to apply blast loads in our structure.
Use time history analysis to simulate the blast pressure vs. time. However, please note that CSI software has limited capabilities in capturing dynamic non-linearity.
Yeah, I've heard this. But how should I apply the blast load that I computed on the building? I mean do I need to create a load pattern and apply it to the joint of structure? Which part of the structure should I apply blast load? I'm sorry I am really quite confused.
