Abstract:

Three aircraft shelters, constructed of corrugated steel and concrete, were tested by various conventional weapons. The shelters were instrumented with strain gages, accelerometers, thermocouples, and pressure transducers. This report describes the instrumentation system used, the exact locations of the transducers, the calibration procedures used, and the data reduction system. All test data and the gage locations are presented in the supplement. The data are not analyzed in the report, however, the quality of the data is briefly discussed.
