REVISION

TRI-SERVICE REGULATORY DESIGN MANUAL
Introduction
effects resulting from an accidental explosion and also techniques for the
the Tri-Service Manual. Although some of this data updates the information
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

Blast Technology arid Design Application Subcommittees
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
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,
velocities and other parameters of shock waves with scaled distances based
V
upon tests performed with TNT. Since their development and incorporation
Some of the curves illustrated in the figures have been revised and refined
curves will be incorporated in the revised version of Figures 4-5 and 4-12
Other figures and charts to be revised include, but are not limited
impulse variation.

outlined in the preceding sections, the revised manual will be divided into
five volumes.

the first four chapters of the present manual and also additional topics
explosion effects.
Volume II - Concrete Design and Fragment Impact: The bulk of the data

information. Design criteria for steel elements and structures will be

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
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.
