Blast/Fire Interactions. Proceedings of Conference Held at Asilomar, California on 18-22 March, 1979.

Abstract

This report summarizes the proceedings of the DCPA-sponsored Conference on blast/fire interactions held March 18 through 22, 1979, at Asilomar, California. This conference, following within a year a similar conference that was held to reevaluate the status of this area of technology, was convened to allow a selected group of authorities on fire effects, air-blast effects, structural responses, and related technologies to reassess the problem area and to evaluate the contributions made to its solution by recently funded studies. Recommendations are offered for a continuing research program to upgrade the state of the art at a rate consistent with need and national priorities. (Author)
