A Binary Response Model (BRM) has been developed for the modelling of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to blast loading. This model has two degrees of freedom representing the shear and flexural responses as two mass-spring-dashpot systems connected in series. The BRM is shown to improve the predictions of dynamic structural behaviour as compared to single degree of freedom (SDOF) models.
