Preliminary Design Procedures for Suppressive Shields

Abstract

Suppressive shields are designed to provide a full spectrum of protection for hazardous manufacturing operations in ammunition plants. This report presents preliminary design procedures for quick approximations of shield size and structural response to particular blast situations. It also includes pertinent data on existing shield designs and a consolidated list of references on suppressive shielding.
