Protective Structure Design against Airblast Effect

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the Army of the Czech Republic, the protective structure design is currently regulated by a military standard Žen 2-1/1, mainly for buried structures and against nuclear loads. As the nature of current armed conflicts suggests, it would be more appropriate to design above-ground protective structures exposed to the effects of direct or indirect fire weapons. The paper describes a search for an ideal above-ground structural shape exposed to an airblast. Several shapes were designed and their behavior under a typical airblast loading was tested using ANSYS software. As a result of the analysis, the most suitable shape of a protection structure was designed.
