ESTABLISHMENT OF DESIGN CRITERIA FOR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES AND PROCESSING OF EXPLOSIVES

Abstract

The development of design criteria for protective structures to prevent propagation of explosives into the acceptor charge and personnel injury is discussed. The overall design approach was divided into three separate areas - donor effects, wall response and acceptor effects. Since this presentation, certain revisions have been made to relationships used in the illustrative examples. However, these revisions do not alter the design principles discussed.
