THE EFFECTS OF SONIC BOOM ON STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR. A SUPPLEMENTARY ANALYSIS REPORT

Abstract

Response and damage data from the Federal Aviation Agency Sonic Boom Tests at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and White Sands, New Mexico, are analyzed and effects on structures summarized. Parameters governing the free-field and near- field boom waves are also studied and their influence on scatter in the data estimated statistically. This report then conservatively summarizes the results in a damage prediction table and chart. Insurance adjusters are given guidance on the treatment of sonic boom damage claims along with the chart. Finally, recommendations for future work in sonic boom, structural behavior studies are made.
