This manual provides guidance to engineers engaged in designing facilities intended to resist nuclear weapons effects. Although emphasis is placed on blast-resistant design, other effects are treated in some detail. Specific topics addressed include: airblast, cratering, and ground motion; facility requirements; blast and shock loading on structures; behavior of structural elements; choice of structural systems and design procedures; dynamic analysis; facility interface elements and shock isolation systems; design adequacy under other weapons effects; and slanting, evaluation and upgrading of existing structures for nuclear effects shelter.
