520 _aTo minimise damage to a building in the event of a bomb explosion, designers and engineers need to carefully consider security measures when designing and building facades. Specific types of glass can be used to minimise the risk of injury, and a stand-off area around the building can be created to prevent vehicles gaining access (size dependant on the type of glazing used). In addition, using laminated glass can prevent fragments escaping and having a robust frame is essential. Also looks at potential problems with stone cladding panels, and other security measures such as shatter films, new techniques to bond the film to the frame, and introducing a crumple zone.
