Vulnerability of RC Tower to Blast Induced Damage By Eng. Mahmoud Hamzeh This research aims to serve as a comprehensive guide for both researchers and engineers in addressing blast-related issues. It will provide insights on how to assign and analyze blast loads on various types of structures using conventional software like ETABS, thereby enhancing the understanding of the impact of blasts on buildings. In order to fulfill the objectives of this research, an examination of the blast effect will be conducted on an existing tower situated in the Raouche region of Beirut Governorate, Lebanon. The initial phase of the project involves the structural design and modeling of the tower, which includes seismic analysis, wind analysis, design of columns and shear walls, slab design, and foundation design. This foundational work is essential for the subsequent application of the blast effect. Upon completion of the structural design, the parameters of the blast wave will be calculated a...
