Window Blast Engineering

The environment of rapidly evolving antiterrorism codes has left estimators and manufacturers in a whirlwind of confusion asking themselves, “Why do blast resistant requirements seem to be a moving target?” It’s important for us to understand what is driving this part of the glazing industry. A great emphasis has been placed on protecting the inhabitants of government buildings from flying shards of glass due to explosion.
