Sonic Booms and Structural Damage
A series of field tests have been performed in order to broaden the basis for the assessment of damage to buildings, caused by sonic booms. Two timber framed test buildings were erected, one using prefabricated sections and the other in-situ construction with one replaceable external wall. Fifty-three overflights at supersonic speeds, at altitudes ranging from 100 to 13,000 m. were carried out over the test buildings. The overpressure created was recorded both in and out of doors and movements in different parts of the buildings were measured. The types of damage which may be caused in the building components studied in this investigation by the overpressure due to a sonic boom are discussed on the basis of the readings obtained. (Author)
