Theoretical Investigation of Loads on Buried Structures. Volume I. Results of Discussion.

Abstract

The objective of this project was to develop simplified techniques for determining loads on buried structures of cylindrical geometry subjected to severe dynamic airblast load environments. The data forming the basis for these design loads have been primarily derived from numerical, finite element analyses for a wide range of loading, soil, and structural parameters. The numerical results were generated exclusively during this research investigation.
