Explosives and burglary resistance of barriers. Determination of burglary resistance factors

The explosion has various effects on its environment. The barriers, unless there is a requirement, are not designed for the specific blast load. There are currently no technical standards that regulate the resistance of commonly used elements of mechanical barriers exposed to a blastwave. Current technical standards focus on the resistance of certain elements, structurally made in a way to improve their resistance against the effect of explosions. These technical standards are used to certify elements into various classes of blast resistance. The paper is focused on the problem of determining the burglary resistance factors when explosives are used to overcome the mentioned barriers.
