Abstract: The development of a society is closely related to the quantity and quality of its infrastructures. Investment in infrastructures such as transport, energy, telecommunications are vital to the development of a country. It is estimated that global demand for mobility and transport infrastructure for 2050 will be raised by 60% compared to 2010 data [1] . This means a very significant increase in the number of kilometers of roads and railways to build in the coming years. The report “ Green House Gases EU Tran sport Emissions: Routes to 2050 ” [2] indicated that 28% of total emissions associated with rail transport are due to infrastructure. Nearly half of these emissions are caused during the infrastructure construction process. Most of these emissions are mainl y due to material production , transport and earthmoving. The construction of sustainable transport infrastructures is a growing priority in the policies of many countries around the world, including aspects such as social, envir

Abstract: Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures subjected to blast loads in the commercial domain has gained importance due the frequency in which such buildings and structures are being targeted by the terrorists which not only causes serious damage to the struc tures but also has resulted in loss of precious hu man life . Though the potential targets and the damages it causes to the structures may be difficult to predict, it is important to consider the blast load in addition to the conventional loads considered in the analysis and design of buildings to minimize the damage caused either due to manmade or accidental blasts. A study is undertaken to compare the effect of inclusion of steel fibers of varying percentages, when subj ected to blast loads at different standoff distance s of 3m, 6m and 9m by varying the ch arge weights when compared to the reinforced concrete with M25 grade at the same standoff distances and charge weights . The variations of the high strain s and the lateral de
