Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions. Volume 1. Introduction

Abstract

This report serves as an introductory manual to previously published reports which present methods of design for protective construction used in facilities for development, testing, production, maintenance, modification, inspection, disposal and storage of explosive materials. This volume contains the safety factor and accuracy to be used with the various design procedures presented in the manual. Also presented is the qualitative description of an explosion projection system, acceptor system tolerance, and the basis for structural design.
