Blasting and Blast Effects in Cold Regions. Part 2. Underwater Explosions
Abstract
This is one of a series of reports that summarize data relating to blasting procedures and blast effects in cold regions. They are organized to deal successively with explosions in air, explosions in water and explosions in solid ground materials. For the most part, the blasting procedures used in cold regions are not much different from those that are in general use elsewhere. Similarly, the principles involved in assessing blast effects in cold regions are the same as those that apply to blast effects generally. The reports therefore summarize principles and data for general explosions technology, and then present the procedures and data for cold environments within this framework. The purpose of the series is to provide a convenient reference source for engineers faced with problems of explosions or blasting in cold regions. This document discusses underice explosions and ice breaking.
