Evaluation of the Impact of the Proportion of Windows on their Resistance to Explosion

According to the importance of windows in the building at the time of the explosion, their proper designing in compliance with all technical and security standards, particularly the standard of passive defense in designing building is crucial. In this regard, the glass of windows has had almost less resistance against explosions confusion and at the time of explosion they collapse and debris are thrown around, that is almost the major cause of casualties of bombings. In this paper, the impact of resistance of the proportions of the windows are evaluated against explosions and then by examining different models, one perfect model has been designed. To this end, the proposed method has designed four types of window with the same area and different proportions that has been tested with ABAQUS. Results showed that the stretched proportions of the windows have better performance against explosion. This can help engineers to select the most effective method of constructing, retrofitting and upgrading for better performance of proportion of windows in an explosion in the future.
