This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blast-resistant windows are no longer a futuristic concept, but a crucial security element. To ensure their effectiveness, Canada is developing design tools and standards. These tools empower architects and engineers with the knowledge to create windows that can withstand the immense pressure and debris of an explosion. Imagine software that simulates blast effects, allowing designers to test and refine window systems virtually. Standardized testing procedures will ensure consistent performance across different window designs. This meticulous approach is vital for critical infrastructure, government buildings, and even high-risk residential areas. By establishing clear design guidelines and rigorous testing methods, Canada is building a national shield. These windows won't just protect lives, they'll minimize structural damage, allowing for a faster recovery after an event. This initiative signifies a commitment to public safety and sets a valuable example for global security standards

Book excerpt: Terrorist bombs threaten American civilians and military personnel both at home and abroad. Analysis of data from previous terror attacks indicates the largest number of injuries result from projected glass shards from shattered windows and facades. Three key issues have led to increased interest in new window materials as well as changes in building design codes: (1) actual terror attacks, (2) the threat of future terror attacks, and (3) monetary losses due to hurricanes. New protective products include a wide variation of films and laminated glasses for retrofit and replacement. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) research has shown that these protective films will reduce the fragmentation of the enclosed glass. However, protective films that are not anchored will not provide retention of the film/glass system under the severe blast loadings expected from terror bombs. This paper introduces the Flex window, a patent-pending blast-resistant window developed at AFRL, along with key design concepts. In addition, the paper presents results from actual blast tests of the Flex window. Tabular data and photo-documentation is used to illustrate the ability of the Flex window to handle blast pressures a full order of magnitude greater than the typical commercial "blast proof" window. New AFRL methods for modeling both exterior and interior loading functions are presented. In addition, possible response modes are discussed based on observations of high-speed video recordings.

Download or read book State of the Art of Blast Resistant Windows written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade a reliable, but possibly conservative, practice has evolved for the design of blast resistant window systems. Herein, the procedure for glazing design is first summarized. This is then comprehensively compared to the results of various prototype tests. Next, the failure criteria for the glass component of the system is critically considered. Finally, the practice for window frame design is examined with a view toward reliable economies. Over the last 10 years, a design methodology has been formulated, developed and tested for the design of blast resistant glazing. Design procedures have been specifically developed for thermally tempered glass, semi-tempered glass, polycarbonate, laminated tempered, laminated semi-tempered, and annealed laminated glass. A procedure for analyzing monolithic annealed (regular plate or float glass) has also been established (none of the authors recommend annealed or wire glass for blast resistant design). This approach has been subjected to peer review and published in the Department of Defense Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions, Army TM5-1300, Navy NAVFAC P-397, and Air Force AFR 88- 22, the Naval Physical Security Equipment Manual and the Corps of Engineers Security Engineering Manual Handbook. The approach has also been adopted for design by the United States Department of State and other governmental agencies. The theoretical approach used to develop the design curves, tables, and formulas has also been incorporated into many computer programs. Gerald Meyers developed and wrote TM, PE, PR, EMB, WINDOW, BWORK, BLASTOP, and GLASSTOP. Donald Baldwin has incorporated much of the theory into WINDX, GPLAC, WINLAC, SAFEVUE, MAXLITE, VUELITE and MAXVUE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent decades have seen an increase in the number of terrorist attacks, necessitating the development of more efficient global security policies. One of the most important elements of this enhanced security is the protection of critical infrastructure. This book presents edited contributions from the NATO Advanced Training Course (ATC) on Critical Infrastructure Protection - Best Practices and Innovative Methods of Protection, held in Agadir, Morocco, from 6 to 12 May 2018. The main objective of the course was to bring together specialists working in the area of protecting critical infrastructure in NATO Member and Partner countries to share their knowledge and expertise. One lecture block was dedicated to important legal aspects, as these differ from country to country. The other main topic areas included the structural design and protection of critical infrastructure, new materials and material analysis, and material and construction testing at elevated impact velocities via experiment and numerical simulation. New designs for critical infrastructure elements were also demonstrated. The course provided an ideal forum for speakers and participants from government, academia, and military bodies to exchange information and best practice, while at the same time creating links to foster further collaboration and the exchange of ideas about the protection of critical infrastructure, and the book will be of interest to all those whose work involves protecting critical infrastructure from the threat of terrorist attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glass fragments are a prime source of injury to occupants of buildings subjected to an explosive event. Health and safety considerations and the principles of a "reasonable duty of care" impose requirements on employers and on the designers and managers of buildings. Two International Standards have been prepared for the test and classification of "Glass in building--Explosion resistant security glazing." These incorporate three test regimes. One standard employs a shock tube method to simulate the blast from large vehicle bombs. The other standard involves two categories of arena tests using live explosives at varying distances. One test series uses small, hand-carried charges of up to 20 kg weight and the other is based upon the blast from 100 kg TNT equivalent vehicle bomb charges, where TNT refers to trinitrotoluene. The three test regimes and classifications are described and compared. The paper demonstrates how the Standards will facilitate the specification, design, and testing of glass and complete glazing systems having compositions from antishatter film applications through to thick and bullet resistant laminated glass. The tests are appropriate for other building components and the Standards will offer a valuable tool to provide safer buildings with blast resistance for protection or hazard reduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosion Blast Response of Composites contains key information on the effects of explosions, shock waves, and detonation products (e.g. fragments, shrapnel) on the deformation and damage to composites. The book considers the blast response of laminates and sandwich composites, along with blast mitigation of composites (including coating systems and energy absorbing materials). Broken down under the following key themes: Introduction to explosive blast response of composites, Air explosion blast response of composites, Underwater explosion blast response of composites, and High strain rate and dynamic properties of composites, the book deals with an important and contemporary topic due to the extensive use of composites in applications where explosive blasts are an ever-present threat, such as military aircraft, armoured vehicles, naval ships and submarines, body armour, and other defense applications. In addition, the growing use of IEDs and other types of bombs used by terrorists to attack civilian and military targets highlights the need for this book. Many terrorist attacks occur in subways, trains, buses, aircraft, buildings, and other civil infrastructure made of composite materials. Designers, engineers and terrorist experts need the essential information to protect civilians, military personnel, and assets from explosive blasts. - Focuses on key aspects, including both modeling, analysis, and experimental work - Written by leading international experts from academia, defense agencies, and other organizations - Timely book due to the extensive use of composites in areas where explosive blasts are an ever-present threat in military applications
