ABSTRACT
Initial guidance in the field of protective structures design wasprovided in 1969 with the publication of the Tri-Service Design Manual'Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions" (TM 5-1300,
NAFVAC P-397, AFM 88-22). The manual presents procedures for determiningthe blast effects resulting from an explosion and techniques for the designof reinforced concrete structures subjected to blast loads. A considerableamount of data, much of it not covered in the current manual, has beenaccumulated since its publication. This information has brought about theurgent requirement for revising the manual. This paper briefly describesthe topics in the manual that will be revised, those that will be added,the format of the new manual, and the various committees set up to overseethe revision.

REVISIONOF
TRI-SERVICE REGULATORY DESIGN MANUAL
"STRUCTURES TO RESIST THE EFFECTS OF ACCIDENTAL EXPLOSIONS"
Introduction
The initial guidance in the highly specialized and complex field of
protective design was provided in 1969 when the Tri-Service Manual,
"Structures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosions" (ref. 1) was
published. The manual presents procedures for determining the blast
effects resulting from an accidental explosion and also techniques for the
design of reinforced concrete structures which will provide protection for
personnel, equipment and other explosive items.
A considerable amount of data (published as technical documents and
others yet to be published) has been accumulated since the development of
the Tri-Service Manual. Although some of this data updates the information
contained in the manual, most of it deals with topics not covered
initially.
Efforts by the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Private Industry in the area
of blast effects and structural design created the urgent need for the
revision of the manual to include recently published data and additional
information. The publication of the Tri-Service Manual was considered a
major step forward in the field of explosion-resistant protective design.
The revision of the manual and the addition of newly developed technology
will greatly improve this important document.
1036 (
This paper describes qualitatively and in a concised form, the various
topics in the manual that will be updated. Additional topics to be
included will also be described briefly. The functions and activities of
the various committees set un to oversee the revision of the manual will be
presented.
Organization of Committees
Figures 1 and 2 show an organization chart of the various institutions
and individuals involved in the revision and update of the Tri-Service
Manual. The revision of the manual is sponsored by the Department of
Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESE). The U.S. Army Armament Research
and Development Command (ARRADCOM) provides administrative and technical
guidance to the Steering Committee. The ARRADCOM team has also the task of
preparing the revised manual througn a contractor, Ammann & Whitney,
Consulting Engineers, New York, N.Y., and their subcontractor, Southwest
Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee, comprised of experts from the Department of
Defense Explosive Safety Board (DDESB), Army, Navy, Air Force and the
Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE) (fig. 2), meets twice a year to
review the findings and recommendations of the two subcommittees; namely,
Blast Technology and Design Application. The Steering Committee will
These subcommittees consist of personnel from the Army, Navy, Air
Force, DDESB, COE and private industry (fig. 2). They meet every four
months to identify new technological advances and to recommend appropriate
revisions. They will also review the revised manual at the 50 percent
stage of completion and the final draft.
Topics to be Revised
Two of the most frequently used design aids in the Tri-Service Manual
are Figures 4-5 and 4-12. They show the variations of pressures, impulses, Vvelocities and other parameters of shock waves with scaled distances based
upon tests performed with TNT. Since their development and incorporation
into the manual in 1969, additional theoretical and empirical information 1Jhas become available, some of it published in the manual prepared by
Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) for the Department of Energy (ref. 2).(
Some of the curves illustrated in the figures have been revised and refined
by C. Kingery of the Ballistic Research Laboratories (BRL), and these new
curves will be incorporated in the revised version of Figures 4-5 and 4-12
(figs. 3 and 4).
Other figures and charts to be revised include, but are not limited
to, the following:
1. Figure 4-6 (fig. 5), Reflected Pressure Coefficient vs. Angle of
Incidence - Will be replaced by new curves for pressure and
impulse variation.
1038 (
(7
2. Figure 4-63, Exterior Leakage Pressure vs. Ground-Scaled Distance
- The existing curves in the manual are out-dated and will be
replaced. The bulk of the new data will be extracted from CEL
Report TR R828 (ref. 4).
3. Figure 4-65, Maximum Mean Pressure in a Partially Vented Chamber -
At present, the four existing curves, namely, NOL, Weibull, SWRI
and TM 5-1300 (fig. 6), depict different conditions for mean
pressure in a chamber. These curves will be analyzed and
additional data from tests performed in Norway and the United
Kingdom will be added to form a revised curve.
4. Figure 4-72, Leakage Pressure Coefficient vs. Pressure
Differential - Recent test data will be examined for the revision
of this figure (fig. 7), which is considered to be inadequate.
5. The human tolerance table will be updated, using recent data
published by the Lovelace Foundation.
Besides the revision of other tables and figures in the manual, some
topics have to be updated appropriately. One such example is the effect on
explosive output due to shape of explosive and number of charges. This
data which was previously referred to as "TNT Equivalency" will now be
referred to as Equivalent Charge Weight with the effect produced by the
variation of explosive material referred to as TNT equivalency.
.1039
Additional Topics to be Included
Since the development of the Tri-Service Manual, ARRADOM and other
organizations of the Army, Navy and Air Force have done a considerable
number of studies on blast effects and the blast-resistant capacities of
various structural elements. These studies will be reviewed and the topics
pertinent to the subject of the manual will be incorporated. Some of these
topics are listed in Figure 8.
Format of Revised Manual
To account for the addition of much needed information such as that
outlined in the preceding sections, the revised manual will be divided into
five volumes.
Voum I- lat oains:This section will include the revisions of
the first four chapters of the present manual and also additional topics
such as the effect of charge shape on pressure output, and multiple
explosion effects.
Volume II - Concrete Design and Fragment Impact: The bulk of the data
in this volume will constitute the revised information from Chapters 5, 6
and 7 of the present manual. Additional information will include, but not
be limited to, below ground concrete cubicles, single-revetted barricades
and response of flat slabs to pressure-time loadings.
Volume III - Steel Structures: This volw-e will contain primarily new
information. Design criteria for steel elements and structures will be
provided, together with results of tests performed on pre-engineered and
strengthened steel buildings.
1040
1'-
Volume IV - Other Factors to be Considered in Explosive Facility
Design: Chapter 10 of the current manual will be revised in this volume.
Data will also be provided on safe separation distances between explosive
items, blast-resistant capacities of glass windows and frames, and
earth-covered magazines, etc.
Volume V - Computer Programs and Guide: Like Volume III, this section
is new and will deal with the computer programs currently available to the
Army, Navy and Air Force. The listing of the highly specialized programs
(i.e., those programs written for blast design) will be provided in this
volume.
It is hoped that the division of the revised and updated manual into
five volumes will allow for a detailed and vivid presentation of the
various topics in this highly complex field of blast design. References
will be provided in each volume in the event that additional information in
any particular topic is required.
Conclusions
The revision and update of the manual will be completed by the end of
1983. By then, It is anticipated that the five volumes that constitute the
manual will contain the most recent data available in the area of
protective design. Memos have been sent out to various Division Engineers
and Commanders of the Army, Navy and Air Force asking them to identify any
shortcomings of the present manual. Their responses have been taken into
account in order that the final manual will satisfy the needs of the
various users.
