Theory The individual assessments are often based on an Explosive Consequence Analysis (ECA) and a Building Resilience Analysis (BRA). The simple explanation for an explosion is: Maximum pressure – the maximum energy intensity (impact pressure) that affects the object per area unit. Impulse – the total energy impact on the object per area unit (the sum of pressure over time). Pressure units are calculated as follows: 1 bar = 10 tons/m2 = 100,000 Pascal (Pa) Pa = 100 kPa = 1000 hPa = 100 kN/m2 4
