SAFETY DESIGN CRITERIA FOR EXPLOSIVE MANFACTURING AND STORAGE FACILITIES,

Abstract

The Picatinny Arsenal Safety Design Criteria Program is aimed at establish4ent of quantitative, realistic criteria for optimum design of protective structures to prevent propagation of explosion, injury to personnel and damage of material. Phase I deals with prevention of propagation and personnel injury due to pure blast effects. Phase II deals with the effects of primary fragment impacts resulting from rupture of the donor explosive casing in causing explosion propagation. Phase III deals with the development of design criteria for barricades and substantial dividing walls for prevention of explosion propagation and personnel injury. (Author)
