Blast Loading of Closures for Use on Shelters.

Abstract

Results are presented for the blast loading of wood beams/plywood closures, steel grating/plywood, and steel doors. Ultimate failures for the closures and doors were determined for long duration blast loads from the BRL 2.44 m simulator. Loading and deflection data are presented for the test closures.
