performance requirements:
Blast resistant doors shall be provided according to the following requirements:
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.
b) For blast loading (peak side-on over-pressure) more than or equal to 5 kPa, blast
resistant doors shall be used.
c) All external doors, frames and hardware shall be designed to withstand the
applicable blast loading (peak side-on over-pressure) on the building.
d) Fire rating of door, frame, hardware and other accessories shall be at least 120
minutes for structural integrity, flame tightness and insulation.
Unless noted otherwise on project drawings, the ‘performance category’ of the blast
resistant doors shall be considered as follows:
Category-I : All external doors of Control Building, Instrument Equipment Shelter (IES),
Field Auxiliary Rooms (FARs) & buildings occupied by personnel or critical equipment
(related to reliable plant operation)
Category-II : All external doors of other buildings

*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.
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.

Doors shall be provided with lever handles and/or hardware for the type operation as
indicated on the drawings or as specified.
Hinges shall be weldment type with radial and thrust bearings and grease fittings.
Latching mechanism shall be 2-point, concealed, and self-latching.
Door shall be fully insulated.
Frame and hardware shall be designed to match the blast load capacity of the door,
eliminating any weak links in the design.
Assembly shall be blast/pressure resistant constructed of steel faces, internally reinforced
and having the appearance of a conventional flush metal door.
Door assemblies shall be designed to protect personnel and equipment from the effects of
blast(s) and pressure loads.
All components including the hardware of the packaged units shall be assembled, mounted,
fitted and shop operated to insure the doors will operate without extensive field adjustments.
Doors, frames and hardware packages shall be shipped as complete units assuring delivery
in the same condition as shop assembled. Oversized doors shall be shipped assembled or
knocked down in accordance with maximum overall size for truck shipments.
Doors shall be air and gas tight before and after blast.
Assemblies shall resist penetration from a steel missile fragment of a maximum weight
determined by the COMPANY and traveling at a velocity to be determined by the
COMPANY.
Design door hardware and reinforcements to transfer all applicable blast loadings to frame.

Where cutting and fitting is required on substrates to be field painted or similarly finished,
install, fit, remove and store hardware prior to finishing. Reinstall hardware after finishing
operations are completed.
Surface mounted hardware shall not be installed until finishes have been completed on
substrate.
Ensure weather-stripping and seals do not inhibit closing and positive latching of door.

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.
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.

After installation of windows and frames, all damaged spots in the shop coat shall be sanded
smooth and touched up with metal primer, matching the shop coat.
20. FIRE RESISTANCE

including metal doors, wooden doors, frame, hardware and other accessories shall be as
indicated in the following Table 2 unless otherwise stated in the Door Schedule.
