Maximizing Protection in New EOCs from Nuclear Blast and RElated Effects: Guidance Provided by Lecture and Consultation.

Abstract : This project was devoted to providing consultation and lecture guidance on applications of combined nuclear effects slanting techniques to new basements (all Emergency Operating Centers--EOCs). The bulk of the report consists of several appendices that publish additional slanting guidance, so arranged that it may be added to the previously published guidance. Two special lecture courses were given to familiarize DCPA Region Staff and RESG engineers--whose normal work is representing the U.S. Government's interests in the contract construction of EOCs--with combined nuclear effects slanting (design modifications) of such EOCs, especially for air blast resistance. Each course attendee was led through a hands-on, personal use of time-sharing computer, stored programs on blast slanting design of a R/C one-way slab and a wood beam.
