NAVFAC DM-2.08, BLAST RESISTANT STRUCTURES (SUPPLEMENT NAVFAC TO P-397) (DEC 1986)

NAVFAC DM-2.08, BLAST RESISTANT STRUCTURES (SUPPLEMENT NAVFAC TO P-397) (DEC 1986)., This design manual contains information that provides design guidance for structures of various types to resist blast loadings. It is supplementary to NAVFAC P-397 and is intended to consolidate and simplify various sources of design criteria which cover the structural elements encountered in blast resistant design. The various effects associated with chemical (HE) explosion, the design of structural steel elements, reinforced concrete frame, and other structural elements, such as reinforced masonry and glass, are described. Design and analysis of blast doors and foundations and the description and availability of certain computer programs are also provided.
