Blast Experiment Research on Safe Extent of Framed Glass Subjected to Small Priming Charge Explosion

With the spread of terrorism all over the world, many buildings become targets of attacks. Glass will break easily under explosion load, therefore improve the anti-explosion performance of architectural glass can effectively reduce the damage caused by bomb attacks. Nowadays domestic study mainly focus on material performance, seismic resistance, construction design of architectural glass, but the study of glass’s anti-explosion performance is still in the preliminary stage, and there is also no anti-explosion design standard for architectural glass. Research of blast experiment for framed glass was made combining with shock wave, explosion load destruction effect, dynamic property of glass. float glass was used for the experiment, and finally the method to ensure safe extent of framed glass under a small priming charge explosion was put forward.
