Design of Masonry Walls for Blast Loading
The arching-action theory of masonry walls is applied herein to blastresistant design. An equation of motion based on this theory is developed for a masonry beam of solid cross section restrained by essentially rigid supports. The equation is solved for a simplified, but realistic, form of blast loading. The results permit either the design of a wall for a given loading or the determination of the maximum loading a given wall can withstand. The theory is extended by an approximate method to wall panels supported on four sides. A comparison is made with test data for walls subjected to full-scale atomic blasts and to high-explosive blasts.
