Abstract
This final report contains the following items: (a) A description and discussion of design procedures and methods for use in the design of blast resistant structures, including the source of material, the basic assumptions, and the expected accuracy of the assumptions; (b) A description of each of the buildings in the test structure including complete plans and specifications; (c) A complete presentation of the pressure-time curves used as the design loads on the various buildings; (d) Summary sheets tabulating the pressures, materials, dimensions, and the unit stresses for the various panels, walls, roofs and frames; (e) Samples of the computations for the test building illustrating various detailed procedures; (f) A summary of the proposed instrumentation with emphasis on the type of information desired, with drawings and charts showing the location and required sensitivity of the instruments; and (g) An outline of a recommended general and detailed procedure for the analysis of the field measurements and the modification of the design methods.
