Abstract
Nowadays when the global security situation is changed due to the various threats the critical infrastructure is endangered. Is essential to protect individual assets of critical infrastructure protection. The papers analyses the resistance of selected assets of critical infrastructure against the extraordinary loads. According to the European standard Eurocode 1 for design of structures, as extraordinary loads, so called accidental actions are considered blast, impact and fire. There are not describe the considered building materials for the construction of very important assets as critical infrastructure assets are. Slovak National Security Authority issued methodological guideline for determining the scoring table of safety measures in a protected area, according to Act No. 215/2004 Coll. on the Protection of Classified Information and on Amendments and Supplements to Certain Acts. The paper analyses the resistance of such materials and assets against the blast, impact and fire.
