A Rational Approach to the Analysis of Structures Subjected to Underground Blasts,
Abstract
The two major data bases connected with underground blast effects on structures are utilized to obtain rational procedures for solving - approximately - the two fundamental engineering problems. The data bases are, (1) accelerogram records at points in the field affected by the blast and (2) isoseismal contour maps for the entire field affected by the blast. These then lead to analytic expressions and charts for the engineering problems, namely (1) damage assessment and (2) structural design/analysis. (Author)
