Abstract:
This project has sought to develop greater understanding of the interaction of explosive blast forces with the structural targets which require protection from the accidental detonation of stored explosives. The relationships which have been developed will be helpful in understanding the risks which are implied in the established explosive quantity-distance criteria and will provide a basis for estimating the potential damage to structures exposed in a blast field which is sufficient to cause incipient structural failure. This study has been implemented through the definition of ten specific structures which have been exposed to the blast forces from five charge sizes through analytical modeling techniques. All charges considered have been spherical, surface burst, bare TNT. The charges considered were limited to the following five sizes 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, and 9,000,000 pounds.
