Polycarbonate blast-resistant

Interim Design Criteria for Polycarbonate Blast-Resistant Glazing... [Pg.130]

Increase the blast-resistance capabilities of windows by replacing glass with polycarbonate or laminated safety glass and, where necessary, upgrading frame design and attachment to walls... [Pg.41]

In many cases, the dynamic amplification factor or the ratio of static load to dynamic load capacity will exceed two. This is because of the concave up shape of the resistance function and the mobilization of membrane resistance at large deflection to thickness ratios. Because of this phenomenon, it is unconservative to assume the blast capacity of polycarbonate glazing to be no less than one half of its static pressure load capacity. [Pg.142]
