Effects of Multiple Exits Small-Scale Model Test Results

Abstract

Small-scale high explosive tests were performed to determine if two exits instead of a simple exit from an underground magazine chamber would reduce the external blast hazard from an accidental explosion. The results indicate that Inhabited Building Distance for airblast from one exit is not significantly reduced by the existence of another exit from the underground magazine.
