The requisite level of knowledge will vary depending on the role of the engineer or architect in an individual project and the nature of that project. However, at a minimum, all building design professionals involved with buildings potentially subject to blast effects should be familiar with how structures are affected by explosions (loading and response of structural and nonstructural systems)

research universities could advance the objectives of the Blast Mitigation for Structures Program, but the program has not taken full advantage of these capabilities. The private sector is much more cost sensitive than the military or civilian federal sectors.

The CCB may be useful in making blast-mitigation technology available to a wide audience of design professionals. The Blast Mitigation for Structures Program should survey and evaluate relevant ongoing university research with the objective of identifying and synthesizing what may be of value for improving the performance of buildings in a blast environment and also consider universities for direct participation in the research effort.

From page 44... ...
The Blast Mitigation for Structures Program should develop a performance-based, multiobjective design process for federal facilities that integrates security and natural hazard mitigation objectives with new technologies and is based on building mission, defined threat, acceptable risk, and available resources. To gather valuable and perishable medical data, the Blast Mitigation for Structures Program should support the establishment within an appropriate agency (e.g., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FEMA, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms)
