Blast and Ballistic Protective Design Course
23rd to 27th August 2010, The Angel Hotel, 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:
- Blast and Ballistic design for concrete, steel, aluminium and glass.
- Use of dynamic design tools from simple design guides to complex finite element modelling.
- Blast and ballistic testing
- Requirements for explosive storage and manufacturing.
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.
Day 1: Blast and Ballistic Design an Introduction
Day 2: Blast Design Part 1
Day 3: Blast Design Part 2
Day 4: Blast Design Workshop and Explosive Storage
Day 5: Explosive and Ballistic Range Day
Days 1-4 of the course will be held between 23rd and 26th August 2010 at The Angel Hotel, Bury St. Edmunds. While Day 5 will be held on 27th August 2010 at D.J. Goode and Associates Ltd premises in West Suffolk
