*Note: The following categories shall be used to determine the requirements for blast resistant
doors.
Category-I: The door shall be operable after the loading event, and pre-established design
criteria for stress, deflection, and the limitation of permanent deformation shall not be exceeded.
This category shall be specified if the door should be required to withstand repeated blasts or if
entrapment of personnel is of concern and the door is a primary exit to the building.

Category-II: The door shall be operable after the loading event. Plastic deformation of the door
occurs, but the frame and fixing to the structure remains unaffected. This category shall be
specified if entrapment of personnel is of concern.

Category-III: Non-catastrophic failure is permitted. The door assembly remains in the opening.
No major structural failure occurs in the panel structure, the restraining hardware system, the
frame or the frame anchorage that would prevent the door assembly from providing a barrier to
blast wave propagation. However the door will be rendered inoperable. This category should
only be specified if entrapment of personnel is not a possibility.

Category-IV: Outward rebound force and resulting hardware failure is acceptable.

Doors, doorframes, and door hardware including hinges shall be designed for the
performance criteria above and applied blast loads specified. The orientation of the door
relative to the blast source(s) will determine the blast loads for which the door needs to be
designed.
Outward opening doors shall be provided at two sides of the control building for ease of
access to process areas and shall seat against the frame under the positive phase blast
wave. Air locks shall be installed to maintain the required over-pressure inside the building.
All outer doors shall be provided with automatic door closers.

19. BLAST RESISTANT WINDOWS


19.1 GENERAL
The following requirements shall be considered for windows of the buildings which are
designed to resist blast loads:
a. For blast loading (peak side-on over-pressure) < 5 kPa or an impulse < 200 kPa-ms,
no additional design requirements for blast resistance are required. Laminated safety
glass should be used to mitigate risks from flying glass.
b. For blast loading (peak side-on over-pressure) between 5 kPa and 45 kPa (estimated
duration between 50 ms and 150 ms), laminated safety glass and catch bars shall be
used and the pane area shall be < 1 m2
c. For blast loading (peak side-on over-pressure) more than or equal to 45 kPa, blast
resistance in the structure and structural components shall be provided. Laminated
safety glass and catch bars shall be used and the pane area shall be < 0.25 m2.
d. The strength of external window frames shall withstand the blast loads at all times.
Design loads on the anchor bolts shall be calculated taking the provided blast loads
into account.
e. Anchor bolt spacing shall be based on the size and ultimate strength of the anchor bolts
and the material to which the bolts are anchored. Anchor bolts shall be located
uniformly around the frame perimeter.
f. Fire rating of the external windows for Blast Resistant Buildings shall be same as that
of the blast resistant external doors.
If (as directed by the COMPANY) there is a possibility that gas, smoke, fire, heat, etc., can
enter a building through damaged windows after an explosion, no windows SHALL be
provided in the outer walls of rooms which are considered as essential for controlling the
operation of the plant.
In blast resistant control buildings, windows in the outer walls shall not be provided for rooms
such as control room, computer room, instrument room, electrical equipment and battery
room, HVAC machine room, shift supervisor’s office, air locks and social amenities with
exception of the mess room. Also, windows in the outer walls shall not be provided for all
rooms in Field Auxiliary Room (FAR). Other offices, plant laboratory and mess room in the
blast resistant control room building may have small windows in the outer walls. The
underside of external widows in the plant laboratory and offices in the blast resistant control
room building shall be 1.0m above the finished floor level.
The total external window area in the blast resistant building shall not exceed 7% of the wall
area, measured inside the building from top of floor to underside of roof.
Windows shall be a fixed & non-open type design.

DOORS AND WINDOWS
The design of window frames and anchorage shall be included”.
Windows shall be sealed with extruded vinyl weather - stripping with consideration for
blowing sand.
Manufacturers
Acceptable manufacturers are Krieger Steel Products, Overly Manufacturing Company
and AMBICO. Products by other manufacturers which are of equal quality and
appearance shall be considered for approval upon review of information submitted to
COMPANY.

19.2 SUBMITTALS
Submit shop drawings showing details of fabrication, installation and anchorage.
Provide design calculations showing conformance with the specified blast loading
requirements, or provide certified test reports from an independent laboratory. Calculations
should consider how blast loads are transferred from the window panel through the frame
and frame anchorage for the seating load case and how the blast loads are transferred from
the window panel through the restraining hardware into the frame and wall during the
unseating load case.
Provide recommended installation procedures and operation and maintenance instructions.

Provide manufacturer’s written warranty.


19.3 MATERIALS
The window frame shall be made of galvanized steel capable of transferring the explosion
pressure (blast load) on the window pane to the surrounding structure. The normal rebate
width of 12 mm shall therefore be increased to at least 30 mm to achieve this requirement.
Laminated glass panes shall be used consisting of two layers of normal glass, each at least
3mm thick, with a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer at least 1.9mm thick.
Double-glazing units can be considered for climatic conditions and to prevent condensation
on the windows. If double-glazing units are applied, both panes shall be laminated-type
glass. The requirement of double-glazing shall be determined based on the HVAC
considerations. The thick interlayer shall keep the two glass sheets together even when the
pane has been blown out of its frame and folded itself around catch bar.

The glass pane shall be fitted into the window frame using an adhesive compound
(polysulphide) that will remain flexible and have maximum adhesive properties. The pane
shall be fixed with steel beads, screwed to the frame.
Aluminum or plastic window frames shall not be used as they are not sufficiently strong to
cope with forces resulting from explosions.
All external windows shall be provided with a vertically mounted solid steel catch bar, 20mm
diameter, securely welded to the inside of the window frame, or built into the concrete
structure. The centre line of the catch bar shall be located at least 70mm behind the glass
pane. The dimensions of windows, provided with a catch, shall be limited to 0.5m x 0.5m.
