HARDENING-OPTIMUM BLAST PROTECTION FOR MINIMUM COST

Abstract

A method is presented whereby, under assumed conditions, it is possible to select with ease a design overpressure for a hardened facility which will give the maximum survival probability per unit cost. It should not be used as a rigid criteria but rather as a guidance in the early phases of planning protective construction.
