Response of Structures to Detonations in Sand,
Abstract
Tests made at RSFA have shown how the pressure on the wall of a structure from detonations of explosives in sand depends not only on the explosive and its distance to the wall but also on the properties of the wall (e g mass and stiffness). The paper gives data from these tests and a suggested procedure for design of walls in buried structures exposed to detonations effects. The procedure is based on an energy-absorption concept.
