Abstract
The paper includes the summary of the Israeli experience in the blast mitigation for non-structural elements. The observed damages to non-structural components from real attacks with various types of weapons and explosive devices as well as from controlled explosive tests are presented. Based on the extensive practical damage data, the failure modes of the non-structural elements and the hazards to people are described. The design criteria for blast mitigation were defined and detailed specifications for the blast resistant non-structural components were compiled and included in the Israeli design manuals for protective structures. Their concise description is included in the paper.
