Abstract Previous chapters have dealt with blast loads on walls and exterior surfaces of buildings or structures. In this section I will briefly discuss how blast wave energy enters a building through windows and doors and the internal loads caused by external detonations. In general the walls, floors, and roof of a structure are much more substantial than the doors and windows. For most of the experiments that I will be using, the walls were reinforced concrete at least several inches thick. In several of the experiments the doors and windows were simply openings in the structure walls with open doorways between rooms.
