AB  - In spite of the plastic behavior of structure is not often allowed under continuous operating
conditions it is quite fit for design when the structure is under loading that only occur a few times during its
life. The object of this study is to investigate the response of elasto-plastic SDOF structures subjected to blast
loading with different TNT quantities and standoff distances. Numerical analysis by SAP2000 Ver.18 based on
bilinear structural resistance function was used in this research. Different structural resistance function values
were investigated as a ratio of elastic response resistance function to obtain the degree of economy that
satisfied from each case. The result of analysis show, although the maximum displacement of the elasto-plastic
system is greater than that of the purely elastic structure, the difference in term of structure capacity is
significant. It is concluded that elasto-plastic analysis become entirely feasible, quite appropriate and effective
for design of structures subjected to blast load.
