Very low stand-off explosions of real ammunition can produce significant amounts of shrapnel, which will be propelled at high velocities onto structures. The impact of these fragments can represent a significant loading of structural elements, and its effects will be compounded to the damage caused by the blast shock wave. Therefore, designing structures to resist low stand-off blast loads requires an understanding of these combined phenomena to ensure that the proposed solutions will provide the desired level of protection in an efficient and cost effective manner.
