BLAST PROOF BUILDINGS

摘要

A method of constructing a blast proof building includes the steps of stacking structural panels configured for blast proofing the building in individual vertical columns as part of an outer skin of a building. The panels spans from floor to ceiling to provide vertical coverage at a respective storey of the building. The panels include a structural core and an attack face configured to provide impact resistance and a thermal break against the effects of a bomb blast. The attack face preferably includes one or more layers of sheet metal and a thermal break medium located between the structural core and the sheet metal. The panels are transported to the building site in a prefabricated state for immediate incorporation into the building.
