Brick Model Tests of Shallow Underground Magazine

Abstract

The overall objective of the Brick Model test program was to determine the hazardous effects (airblast and debris) produced by an accidental detonation of explosive stores which ruptures the overhead cover of an underground magazine. Specific test objectives were to evaluate the effects of explosive loading density (kg of explosive per m3 of chamber volume) and the thickness and strength of the rock cover on the external blast hazards.
