Abstract
Regarding the importance of structures in sustainable development of countries, the necessity to consider them versus inflicted forces has an especial position. One of the inflicted forces upon these structures is explosion. Given that the resistance of a construction against blast wave depends on the form and shape of the building, numbers of trap doors and openings, power and quality of materials utilized in the building; in consequence, studying and evaluating types of construction forms versus outcomes resulted from explosion find importance. The behavior of three kinds of buildings including the forms of cone, hemisphere and frustum were, therefore, evaluated in the research. Various methods can be applied in order to assess behavior of construction against blast load, however, Finite Element method has been utilized in the article duo to particular capabilities of it in the blast assessments. Then, results of blast loading over the constructions were surveyed and it was concluded that buildings with hemispherical form show the best manner and providing openings called colloquially blast walls are used in the building; construction resistance versus blast load is raised.

Modeling the explosive circumstance in the Finite Element samples, in the part of Interaction of the software, Incident wave has been utilized. Characteristics of these waves have been defined as Air Blast (8) and explosive ingredients have been selected from the type of TNT (Abaqus 2009)
In this blast scenario, construction with frustum form obtained rank 1, conical form stands in place 2 and spherical form received rank 3
Summary
Regarding the importance of structures in sustainable development of countries, the necessity of considering them versus inflicted forces has an especial position. Resistant-buildings against the explosion have been developed through a lot of researches (Pouri Rahim et al 2012; Hosseini et al 2012; Bitarafan et al 2013b; Koccaz et al 2008), including the investigation of Kheyroddin et al (2007) They focused on the impact of architectural elements on the vulnerability of structures versus earthquake hazard. Bitarafan et al in 2015 used AHP and IHWP method for selecting the optimal composition of architectural forms from the perspective of civil defense They concluded that the center-oriented form of the composition is the best option from the perspective of civil defense to construct critical and crucial buildings and the linear form of composition is located in the second rank
