Sommario/riassunto

Provides an overview of terrorist activity and reviews technologies and methods for designing blast resistant buildings. These techniques have applicability and relevance to the design of civilian structures. This volume recommends that a program be undertaken to hasten the availability of these techniques to the civilian building community.
