The study of blast effects on structure has been area of formal technical investigation for over many years. There
are numerous texts guides and manuals on the subject with continuing research and technical reporting occurring at a brisk
pace. However there is limited guidance available in the literature on the direct application of established blast effects
principals to structural design. Numerous efforts are under way to develop comprehensive guides and standard to fill these
voids. This study presents a general overview of key design concepts for reinforced concrete structure and same has been
applied in the design of RCC walls for various percentage of steel and wall thickness.
