Earth-Covered Magazine Protection Using Electro-Osmotic Pulse Technology

摘要

The magazines in which electro-osmotic pulse (EOP) systems were installed are steel-arch, earth-covered structures constructed in the 1950s. The magazines consist of a reinforced concrete floor with reinforced concrete head walls at each end. The side walls and ceiling consist of a reinforced knee wall approximately 15 in. (380 mm) high with a galvanized corrugated steel-panel arch bolted on top and at various points into the head walls. EOP systems were installed in 11 magazines of two different sizes: two were 11 × 30 ft (3.3 × 9.1 m) and the remaining nine were 24 × 50 ft (7.3 × 15.2 m).
