In order to achieve this aim, we have to utilize all available properties in such a way that efficiency shall be maximized. Construction is one of the major areas in this regard. Having been included in different phases of construction such as planning, design, execution, and utilization, passive defense can substantially reduce the loss of lives and properties and any probable damage to buildings. However, training is the first step in this process. Along with the introduction of passive defense application in this field, the paper tries to underline the necessity of training for the engineers.&lt;/p&gt;
