5.3 Preliminary Design of Building

Analysis and design of building is carried out by considering plan and elevation as shown in
Figure 5.1. Modeling of the building is carried out in ETABS 19 with the slab thickness 120
mm; beam size 300× 400 mm and column size 450×450 mm. Blast resistant design of the
building is carried out for the maximum of following load combinations as given below:
 1.5 (DL + LL)
 1.2 DL + 1.2LL ±1BL
 1.5 DL ± 1BL
 0.9DL ± 1BL

The blast loading on the building is calculated as per IS 4991-1968.A typical table showing
blast loading on model 4 with 300kg charge at 30m standoff distance is as shown below:
