The effects of explosive blast loading on quarter scale specimens of structural steel cladding supported on Z-section steel rails and H-section columns, is reported in terms of overall and local damage and the transient over pressure and transient deformation results. Comparisons are made between the damage produced on the scale model and on comparable full scale buildings of similar construction.
