Well I already got A grade in it but looking forward to hear from u

Welcome nadeem...

I have done some NDT Projects with Arif Consulting Engineers. Here is the website with all the contact information. http://www.aceconsults.com/

Naeem, your model is incomplete. There are no load cases defined other than dead. Wind will govern the design for the structure. You members are almost all overstressed in basic gravity load combinations. Your should provide complete braces to the foundation so that for all lateral loads (esp wind) load path is complete and there is no bending in the framing members. I should have seen this way before but I am sorry due some unexpected work I couldnt check it. Anyhow, revise your framing. Put cross-braces or chevron bracing on all faces instead of knee braces; that will make your forces from top to bottom through tension and compression and you dont need any moment joints. Apply wind load (v.v. imp) . if you dont know how to do it let me know. I can help you for auto loading in SAP. Your model needs a lot of rework.

I did a blast calc when I was in Pakistan for an embassy. Check the attached files. The other references that I have but cannot attach because of their substantial size are: Dynamic Loading and Design Of Structures-AJ Kappos Thomas Telford - Blast Effect on Buildings ASCE - Design Of Blast Resistant Petrochemical Buildings I got all this stuff from google searches, so would be easy to find it.(I can always email you the stuff let me know if needed) Thanks.
