Blast Pressures Inside and Outside Suppressive Structures

Abstract

This report describes methods for estimating shock pressures and vented gas pressures within suppressive structures and for estimated attenuated blast wave properties outside. Data are fitted to scaling laws, and prediction equations given with limits of validity. A computer code for predicting venting pressures is described.
