Experimental analysis of small masonry panels subject to long duration blast loading
Experimental analysis of small masonry panels subject to long duration blast loading
Much research has been conducted towards short duration blast loading and its interaction with structures. The positive phase duration, t+, of a typical short duration high explosive blast is often below t+= 100ms. For the purposes of this research, long duration blast is considered to be an explosive event in which t+>100ms. This type of blast load offers added complexity when dealing with its interaction with structures due to the high impulses, drag winds and associated dynamic pressures.
As part of an extended research study to develop a set of predictive algorithms, this paper investigates the breakage patterns and debris distribution of masonry panels subject to long duration blast loads. Experimental trials were conducted using the Air Blast Tunnel at MoD Shoeburyness, a specialised facility for long duration blast, in which two masonry panels were tested. The trials displayed varying degrees of breakage followed by a substantial debris distribution in both cases.

Abstract
Much research has been conducted towards short duration blast loading and its interaction with structures. The positive phase duration, t+, of a typical short duration high explosive blast is often below t+= 100ms. For the purposes of this research, long duration blast is considered to be an explosive event in which t+>100ms. This type of blast load offers added complexity when dealing with its interaction with structures due to the high impulses, drag winds and associated dynamic pressures.
As part of an extended research study to develop a set of predictive algorithms, this paper investigates the breakage patterns and debris distribution of masonry panels subject to long duration blast loads. Experimental trials were conducted using the Air Blast Tunnel at MoD Shoeburyness, a specialised facility for long duration blast, in which two masonry panels were tested. The trials displayed varying degrees of breakage followed by a substantial debris distribution in both cases.
