Publisher's Synopsis
This illustrated publication offers a compendium of articles covering the effects of explosive devices on buildings, and ways to mitigate those effects. Produced in collaboration with "Building Services Journal", the magazine of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, the technical note contains articles written in the wake of the major London bombings in the 1990s, and a first hand report on the effects of blast damage on building services and the scope for refurbishing blast-damaged plant items for re-use. The guide also acknowledges the threat to building occupants from bio-terrorism, and includes a useful checklist and bibliography.
