The performance of structures under explosion is vital to create safer buildings for occupants. Significant damages occur where the explosions produce high pressure and loading rates, such as structural failure, progressive collapse, and extensive plastic deformation. Most of the building materials might transform into dangerous things that can lead to the primary cause of death and injury of the occupants. Explosions can bend beams and pipes, damage columns, push exterior walls inward, shear off parts of the building, push floors up, push the roof up, and blow out windows, all of which may contribute to the collapse of the building. Impact damage results from weapon fragments and debris, such as shards of window glass, bricks, and soil being mobilised by the blast. The heat from the explosion can also ignite fires. Robust materials that can withstand an explosion can be chosen for explosion-proof building design. Besides, reinforcing structural components, installing blast walls, elastomeric spraying the masonry, and adding plastic layers to glass to keep shard were analyzed in this study.
