Comparison of Predictive Methods for Structural Response to HE Blast Loads
Abstract
Numerous methods for predicting structure response to airblast caused by HE explosions were developed during the last twenty years. The rigor, complexity and sophistication of the methods are known to cover a wide spectrum. Some the less complex but widely accepted methods are examined, assessed, and discussed relative to their degree of conservatism. To support their assessment, the authors critically examined the structural design parameters used in the predictive methods.
