1) Effects of blast pressure on the human body
www.cdc.govEffects of blast pressure on structures and the human body The following table 1, based on Department of Defense data from Glasstone and Dolan (1977) and Sartori (1983), summarizes the effects of increasing blast pressure on various structures and the human body. This data originates from weapons tests and blast studies

www.nps.govexplosive energy applied to the surrounding rock. Analysis of the cost of explosives requires that the effects of explosive energy be placed into proper perspective within the entire drilling, blasting, handling and process-ing operation. This relationship is illustrated in Figure 8-7. (Figure 8-7) Analysis of efficient blast design..

law.resource.org0.3 The blast wave loads the exposed surface of the structure and then the load is transmitted to the other elements. Thus, the response of each individual element is important unlike the ground motion where- in the whole structural system is simultaneously causing inertia effects on all parts.
