1. Scope
The scope of this standard guide is to provide guidance for selecting building components that resist the effects of explosives blasts caused by terrorist attacks
This standard is needed because there is currently no guidance for selecting or specifying building components for homeland security applications that provide resitance to explosives blast effects. It will be used by architects and engineers in both the public and private sectors.
Keywords
Blast resistance; blast resistant windows; blast resistant doors; blast resistant walls; blast resistant roofs
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
