MODEL STUDIES OF EXPLOSIVE STORAGE CUBICLES

Abstract

Experimental results are presented on the magnitude and distribution of the pressure-time blast loading resulting from internal blasts on the walls of partially vented enclosures. Experiments were conducted using 1/6 scale steel models of typical storage cubicles subjected to the internal detonation of spherical bare pentolite charges. The principal variables were: the charge size, its location within the enclosed space, and the shape of the enclosed space.
