Blast Loading on Model Munition Storage Magazines.
Abstract
This report contains the results obtained from a series of high explosive tests designed to determine the blast loading on scaled models of earth covered munition storage magazines from an accidental explosion. The donor model was a 1/50th scale of an earth covered munition storage magazine. The acceptor models were 1/50th scale non-responding models constructed of cast concrete. Charge weights of 0.357, 1.066, and 1.792 kg were used to simulate 44625, 133250, and 224000 kg in full size storage magazines. Blast loading trends are established for structures located at established safe separation distances. Correlation with the United Kingdom 1/10 scaled model results and US full scale results are also presented.
