An Investigation of Fragment Stopping Barricades
Abstract
This paper describes a two-part investigation of the reduction in fragment hazards afforded by barricades. Also included is a description of the FRAGHAZ Computer Program used in the investigation. Part I is a general investigation of barricades to test the usefulness of the FRAGHAZ Program and to gain initial in-sight on barricades. Part II covers a specific investigation of the fragment hazard reduction capability of a natural hillside barricade in Taegu, Korea. The results of the investigation indicate that the configuration and positioning of the ammo stacks relative to the barricade are prime considerations in reducing fragmentation hazards.
