A GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN OF SHOCK ISOLATION SYSTEMS FOR UNDERGROUND PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES

Abstract

This report reviews the major considerations relating to the design of Shock Isolation Systems for use in underground protective structures,emphasizing in particular those areas where special guidance is needed by the facility engineer. The motion of the ground due to nuclear blast, the interaction of the ground motion with buried structures, and the tolerances of typical facility equipment to shock are described and employed to establish the input and output requirements for isolation systems.
