Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes the work performed to bring the Large Blast Load Generator to the point where actual test firings in the completely assembled equipment could be undertaken. The areas of major effort were: development of suitable explosive and propellant primary charges, containments and firing trains; assisting in proof testing the individual firing tubes to demonstrate their strength and freedom from flaws; drawing up recommendations for preparations, precautions and operating protocol for the initial test firings; assisting in development of sealing techniques to permit performance of high pressure hydrostatic tests on the pressure vessel; and providing engineering analysis of the hydraulic jack system for the platen rail lift mechanism.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the investigation were to design and model test a blast-resistant reinforced concrete slab system serving as the roof of a basement shelter area. The slab system was designed to offer sufficient radiation and blast protection to insure a survival probability for its occupants of 85 to 95 percent for a fa 15-psi airblast overpressure loading. Static and dynamic tests were conducted on two 1/4-scale models of a prototype shelter. The prototype shelter, as designed, has a reinforced concrete flat slab roof consisting of three 18-foot spans in each direction supported by four interior columns and by a continuous wall around the perimeter. The model included the perimeter walls and different panel configurations which would influence the load-carrying capacity of the prototype structure. The slab system was designed using the empirical method of the 1963 American Concrete Institute Code with modifications to account for the dynamic loading effects. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to investigate and verify model-to-prototype scaling relations for blast loaded buried arches that respond both elastically and inelastically. Four geometrically similar, semicircular aluminum alloy arches with 4-, 8-, 12-, and 36-inch diameters were buried in dense dry sand and subjected to air-blast-induced loads on the surface. The tests were conducted at the Large Blast Load Generator located at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. The results of two series of tests, each consisting of 3 repeated shots, ranging from 70 to 300 psi, are presented. Within the range of parameters investigated, the scaling of the dependent variables were adequately verified. These variables included acceleration, velocity, displacement, thrust, and bending moment. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general objective of the pilot test reported herein was to determine the response of a small-scale, buried, flexible-arch troop shelter to a simulated nuclear blast overpressure. To accomplish this, a model structure was constructed using a scaling ratio of 1 to 4.5. The model structure was buried in dense, dry sand with depth of cover equal to one-quarter the diameter of the arch. The test was conducted in the Waterways Experiment Station Large Blast Load Generator at an overpressure of about 85 psi. Strain, acceleration, and deflection were measured at various points on the structure along with pressure in the free field and overpressure at the soil surface. The only serious damage observed was a shear failure of the bolt connections between the bulkhead columns and the end trusses. The results of this study will be used to plan further tests of the structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a part of this program, a series of laboratory model and prototype structures was tested dynamically in the Blast Load Generator facility located at WES to evaluate the use of scale-model tests in predicting the elastic response of a laboratory-size prototype structure to dynamic loads. Presented in this paper are the results of tests of three metal arch structures having diameters of 8, 16, and 24 in., respectively, placed at various depths of burial in dry sand and subjected to ground surface overpressures ranging from 57 to 196 psi.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combined analytical/experimental study entitled 'Canister-Backfill-Medium Interaction' (CBMI) was conducted to investigate the effects of backfilling procedures on the response of ground motion instruments located in instrumentation boreholes during wave propagation experiments. The experimental portion was conducted by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) and is reported herein. A companion analytical study was conducted by Agbabian Associates (AA), El Segundo, California. The analytical study attempted to calculate the measured motion-time histories by use of input load functions and material properties data. Results of the analytical effort are discussed in a separate report published by AA.
