Blast/Fire Interactions, Asilomar Conference, May 1980,

Abstract

This report summarizes the proceedings of the FEMA-sponsored blast/fire-interaction research conference, the third of an annual series, convened by a selected group of authorities on fire effects, airblast effects, structural responses, and related technologies to reassess the significance of this nuclear-attack problem area and evaluate the contributions that ongoing studies are making, and proposed research could add, to alleviate the technical deficiencies which limit analytical progress. A continuing research program to upgrade the state of art at a rate consistent with national priorities and the perceived urgency for increased national security is described and recommended.
