Blast-Ballistic Protection Research and Development
Abstract
The primary emphasis of the research effort was on mitigating the threats associated with blast loading on occupied structures. Within the general area of blast effects research the report addresses two primary areas of concentration. First relates to direct support of blast tests through analytical predictions, test article design refinement, support of test planning, and support of forensic evaluations. The second concentration of effort relates to the development of guidelines for through-edge-bolted glass panels as an option for window and curtain wall retrofit systems. The report documents material testing, component testing plus development of engineering equations and guidelines for practical design.
