Method of determining zones of characteristic blast-induced deformations of tower equipment

A method of determining zones of characteristic explosion-induced deformations of tower equipment is proposed in this paper. The fact that a tower experiencing the effect of an external blast-induced pressure uniformly distributed over the lateral surface is assumed to be a cylindrical shell is a characteristic feature of the method. The dimensions of the zones of characteristic explosion-induced transformations, within the limits of which elastic and plastic deformations occur in the tower, are compared with the dimensions of zones of various degrees of explosion-induced destruction of buildings.
