A UNIVERSITY DESIGN STUDY OF PROTECTION FACTORS IN TYPICAL AMERICAN HOUSES

Abstract

The objective of the work was the experimental measurement of reduction factors in the basement of several typical full scale American houses situated in a simulated infinite plane fallout field. The test structure was a typical 30' x 40' house with special design features which allowed the variation of the exposed basement wall height, exposed basement wall mass thickness, exterior wall mass thickness, and the interior partition configuration.
