Development of a Shelter Blast and Fire Vulnerability Data System

Abstract

The study investigates the data and methods required for developing a Shelter Blast and Fire Vulnerability Data System. The objective is to develop an inexpensive method of determining the blast and fire vulnerability of fallout shelters by using available building data and existing vulnerability models. Numerous sources of structural data are examined including computerized listings of specifications of fallout shelter facilities, various types of maps, and aerial photography. A methodology is developed and procedures are specified for converting the data available in these source documents to suitable indicators of blast and fire vulnerability.
