Abstract text:
In recent decades by the increasing growth of terrorism, insecurity and risk of terrorist attacks have been increased. Terrorist attacks are often categorized as low probability, but potentially high consequence events. Thus one of the most important issues that must be taken into consideration while designing buildings is assessment and predicting such terrorist attacks and find ways to mitigate them. In the present paper potential terrorist attacks threatening buildings are identified and the architectural solutions to mitigate each of them are proposed using the books and standards.
