//final report//blast and progressive collapse analysis

the blast and progressive collapse analysis report (final report) analyzes the monongalia general hospital against blast and progressive collapse scenarios. this report primarily emphasizes in the progressive collapse analysis due to the complex nature of blast loading. this thesis report analyzed two locations seen to be a critical location in an event of a blast and redesigns the floor system to accommodate for such an occurrence. these redesigned floor systems will be compared in terms of cost and schedule effectiveness as well as its structural integrity. the façade of the Hospital will also be analyzed against blast loading and new designs will be compared in terms of heat transfer qualities as well as their cost.
