Blast and Ballistic Protective Design Course

3rd to 7th October 2011, Bury St. Edmunds

In recent times the need to protect ourselves from the hazards of explosion or ballistic attack, be they the result of accident or terrorist activity, has grown.  This five day course provides an introduction to the techniques required to design buildings to protect their occupants from the effects of explosions or ballistic attack.

The course is intended for students with existing experience of structural analysis and preferably with some experience of simple dynamic design.  The course is designed to allow them to progress from the classroom to actual projects.

Content will include:

 

The course is broken up into 5 day modules.  We would expect most attendees to attend all 5 days but the opportunity will exist to attend single days if required.

Blast Wave Parameters & Blast Pressure Derivation.

Day 2:
