 | Efforts are well underway to merge the three major automated explosives safety site planning (ASP) software packages known as ASHS, ESS and MSS. The work began in earnest in January 2009 and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2011. The project is sponsored by the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB), the Air Force Safety Center (AFSC, Albuquerque, NM) and the Logistics Research and ... |

| The US Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) sponsors the DDESB Science Panel whose charter includes developing and improving the explosion effects and consequence algorithms detailed in DDESB Technical Paper 14 and embedded within the DDESB's risk-based explosives siting tool, the Safety Assessment For Explosives Risk (SAFER) software. Consequently, the Science Panel has begun planning for improvements of the current SAFER Version 3.1 software. Several potential changes identified by ... |

| Explosives safety standards contain directive and commentary language. Both are founded upon experience derived from science and mishap history. Approval authorities expect full compliance with each directive requirement. Automation of such standards enhances the correct and complete application of the standard which in turn enhances the probability of safety, reduces approval review requirements, and generally improves productivity. However, development of automated explosives safety applications consumes both approval authority and software ... |

| The DoD and the Services have developed explosives safety siting regulations to govern the planning and maintenance of military and DoD contractor facilities. These regulations have traditionally been extensive and involved. For the most part, we have done a good job in maintaining high standards of conformance. We are all aware that the cuts in the DoD budget have resulted in reductions of manpower and facilities, but perhaps we haven't ... |

|
| The yield line analysis method is used extensively throughout the blast design and analysis community to determine the strength of reinforced concrete structural elements to resist blast overpressures. Technical literature has long been available that describes the yield line method of analysis and explains how to derive the necessary analysis equations for a structural element such as a wall or a roof. Most presentations of the yield line analysis method ... |
