Abstract

Condensed phase explosives present a hazard to both property and people. This hazard, which primarily manifests as overpressure, fragment generation and/or thermal radiation, can be realised through accidental initiation during manufacture, storage, handling and transport. Much work has been conducted to understand and quantify the effects of hazard realisation on property and people. This paper reviews available literature, describes a number of models, details damage criteria and provides an overview of condensed phase explosion effects on property and people.
