Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6572881

Methods and procedures are presented for estimating nuclear weapon effects pertinent to hardened structures and for designing and analyzing such structures subjected to these effects. Weapon yields considered range from kiloton through multi-megaton size. Overpressure levels which may be treated range from thousands of psi to less than 5 psi. The free-field environments covered include airblast, cratering and ejecta, ground shock and radiation.
