Need for designing important buildings to resist blast masses is growing in the recent time due to the increasing terrorist operations. A bomb explosion can cause very serious injury on the bridge pier. Collapse of one structural member in the vicinity of the source of explosion can also then create integral stress redistributions and lead to crumple of different members and at the end of the entire structure Due to threat from such extreme loading conditions, efforts have been made to develop methods of structural analysis and design to resist blast loads. The evaluation and layout of systems subjected to blast loads require an in depth understanding of blast phenomena and its consequences on numerous structural elements. Blast loads Dynamic masses that want to be cautiously calculated similar to earthquake and wind loads. The study of effect of blast loading on a Bridge pier is carried out. Effects of variable blast source weight are calculated by considering various distances from point of explosion for bridge pier. The calculations of blast load on bridge pier for all cases are carried out by using IS 4991 The blast load is analytically determined as a pressure-time history and structural response predictions are performed with ANSYS using non-linear direct integration time history analyses. The influence of the lateral load response due to blast in terms of peak deflections, normal stress and bending stress is determined. The performance level of bridge pier under blast load is under collapse level for given blast load.
