Blast Protection of the Perimeter
Keywords:
berm, blast protection, concrete wall, explosives, perimeter securityAbstract
The article brings a different approach to the perimeter protection in comparison with current manuals. It explains the reaction of the fortification materials when high explosive detonates on of their surface. Fortification is assessed here as concrete or loose material. Based on acoustic rules it is a process of attenuation of transition waves while propagating the above mentioned materials. The article shows the false feeling of the security of persons standing behind concrete wall and vice versa the underestimating of the loose material efficiency. Further recommendations how to improve blast protection of perimeter walls are given on the conclusion of this article.
