Some design examples are presented to evaluate the shock-resistant performance of target buildings to confirm the applicability of the design criteria of AIJ guideline. Dynamic analyses are performed using SDOF model of an individual member on which an impulsive load is acting. Furthermore, analyses are performed using finite element model for the same member, and the results are compared to the results of the corresponding SDOF model for validation. Frame building structure model which is supposed to be located at the corner of a crossroad is investigated as an example. Dynamic responses and the corresponding damage states are illustrated for this building subjected to shock loads due to road vehicle crashes. As a non-structure member case, examples of window glass destruction subjected to internal and external gas explosions are presented.
