Protective Vertical Shelters.

Abstract

The response of buried vertical MX shelters to vertical airblast and to airblast-induced ground-shock loadings is examined. Three tests conducted on 1/6 scale reinforced concrete models to investigate the effects of site geology and structural detail on shelter response. The experimental data provided an insight into shelter response, and was also used to evaluate the accuracy of pretest calculations and predictions. (Author)
