A Review of the 1983 Revision of TM 5-855-1 'Fundamentals of Protective Design' (Nonnuclear)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to make potential users of the manual aware of the revision, aware of its scope, and indicate how and when it can be obtained. Because of space limitations only a few selected graphs from the manual will be presented as an indication of its content. Table of Contents: Weapon Characteristic; Blast Effects; Penetration; Cratering and Ground Shock; Fragmentation; Fire, Incendiary, and Chemical Agents; Loads on Structures; Mechanics of Structural Elements; Dynamic Response of Structures; In-Structure Shock, and Auxiliary Systems.
