Fundamental Test on the Characteristics of Blast Pressure Acting on a Box-Type Structure
摘要
This study investigated the blast pressure characteristics acting on a structure by conducting explosion tests. Prior to the explosion tests, a method for evaluating the blast pressure characteristics proposed by the U.S. Unified Facilities Criteria was described and its unpublished concept was discussed. Scaled explosion tests for investigating the blast pressure acting on a box-type structure were conducted by using composition C-4 high explosive. Blast pressure characteristics at the front wall, top roof, side wall, and rear wall were discussed by comparing those estimated by the U.S. facility criteria.
