ENGINEERING STUDY OF ATOMIC BLAST RESISTANT DESIGN FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPES

Abstract

The report summarizes the results of an engineering study of several building types to determine (1) the practicability of design for atomic blast resistance, (2) the estimated construction cost for a range of blast pressure loadings and a comparison of costs with conventional construction, and (3) the estimated additional cost of providing personnel shelter areas.
