Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions. Volume 2. Blast, Fragment, and Shock Loads

摘要

This report details design procedures for structures which are subjected to the effects of accidental explosions. The procedures over the determination of the blast environment and structural design. This volume contains procedures for determining the effects from unconfined and confined explosions (shock, gas, and leakage pressures), including multiple explosions, frangibility, TNT equivalency, external blast loads on structures with and without openings, and the pressure buildup in structures. Another section deals with primary fragments (fragment velocity, distribution of fragments, impact effects) and secondary fragments ( velocity, trajectory). The last section on shock loads contains procedures for determining ground shock and air shock effects, structure motions, and shock response spectra. An appendix is included with appropriate example problems and solutions.
