Description
It brings together, in a concise format, the key elements of the loads produced from explosive sources, how they interact with structures
and the way structures respond to them. Explosive sources include gas, high explosives, dust and nuclear materials.
It presents quantitative
information and design methods in a useable form without recourse to extensive mathematical analysis. The authors, Peter Smith and John
Hetherington, are staff members at the Royal Military College of Science in Shrivenham and have been instrumental in establishing an
active group comprising lecturing and research staff concerned with the response of structures to blast and ballistic loading.
Audience
Consulting, civil, structural and offshore engineers. Process safety consultants. Architects. Military engineers.
