Condensed Phase Explosions, Safety Distances, and Blast Resistance
This paper reviews the technical basis behind quantity-distance (Q-D) regulations to assure safety of personnel and property against the effects of accidental condensed-phase explosions, which constitute all the commercial explosives in use today. The hazards associated with accidental explosions relate both to the explosive source and the target in question. There are primary hazards such as direct shock and missiles, and the secondary ones such as those arising from collapse or damage to buildings. The nature of air shock for on-ground and above-ground explosions and its interaction with target personnel and structures are described. The methodology of quantifying the blast parameters from an explosion and the inherent difficulties encountered in such attempts are discussed. The nature of special structures such as barricades and blast-resistant structures to withstand or minimize the hazards are described.
