Design of Steel Structures to Resist the Effects of HE Explosions

Abstract

This report contains criteria and procedures for the design and analysis of steel structures and structural elements subjected to blast pressures produced by HE explosions. The primary emphasis is on structural steel applications for acceptor structures located in the low to intermediate pressure level range. This report on steel design parallels the material on reinforced concrete in the tri-service design manual 'Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions', TM 5-1300 and is intended to be used in conjunction with that manual.
