Bulletin A.6.

RE 6/2/7

The paper aims to express principles of design for bomb-resistance which can be recommended in the light of recent work. As bombproof is a relative term, it is essential that the size and type of bomb to be resisted is decided before design begins. Any design must be able to withstand impact penetration, explosive penetration, and earthshock. Discusses roof and wall design and reinforcement. Includes extensive list of references, graphs and diagrams.
