Download or read book Maximum Missile Ranges from Surface and Buried Explosions written by Luke J. Vortman and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ballistic boundaries, or maximum ranges of ejected material, for many applicable surface and buried explosions are summarized and scaling expressions are derived which will be helpful in predicting the ballistic boundaries for explosions of other energies. In establishing safety zones it is advisable to multiply predicted boundaries by a factor of 1.5 to 2.0, because of a finite probability that the boundaries observed for a limited number of events will be exceeded if more shots are fired.

This book was released on 2005-10-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of their depth and hardened status, however, many of these strategic hard and deeply buried targets could only be put at risk by conventional or nuclear earth penetrating weapons (EPW). Recently, an engineering feasibility study, the robust nuclear earth penetrator program, was started by DOE and DOD to determine if a more effective EPW could be designed using major components of existing nuclear weapons. This activity has created some controversy about, among other things, the level of collateral damage that would ensue if such a weapon were used. To help clarify this issue, the Congress, in P.L. 107-314, directed the Secretary of Defense to request from the NRC a study of the anticipated health and environmental effects of nuclear earth-penetrators and other weapons and the effect of both conventional and nuclear weapons against the storage of biological and chemical weapons. This report provides the results of those analyses. Based on detailed numerical calculations, the report presents a series of findings comparing the effectiveness and expected collateral damage of nuclear EPW and surface nuclear weapons under a variety of conditions.

Book excerpt: The report is the first comprehensive textbook on a relatively new method of construction originating from research into the large-scale use of explosives for construction purposes. The central idea is that explosives can be made to do more work for the civil engineer than just break up rock: various types of excavations and explosion-generated effects can be designed and produced safely, quickly, and in many cases cheaper than by the use of other techniques. The overall concept, design approach and procedures, and the operational consequences of using currently available techniques are fully described. Emphasis is on the adaptability of the method, and its present and future potential as a cost competitive tool in various construction roles. The report deals with the mechanism of crater formation and characteristics of explosion-produced craters. It covers the types of projects where such craters have useful application; how to choose the proper explosive; how to design the charge emplacement and firing system; and how to evaluate the potential hazardous effects from detonation. The field operations associated with using the method are described and the postshot engineering considerations are discussed. An example is given illustrating how to analyze a typical excavation project. (Author).
