The blast relief sandwich panel fixing under the explosion energy action

Abstract

This article is devoted to the assessment of the efficiency of using wall sandwich panels with mineral wool core, sheathing made of galvanized steel with a polymer coating, used as blast-relief panels. The article presents the developed seating unit for the wall sandwich panel at the moment of the explosion energy influence. As a result of the experiments carried out, when an excess pressure of no more than 3.0 kPa in the room is reached, the safety shut-off devices ensure the discharge of the displaced element, which avoids damage to the main elements of the frame. According to the results of 2 tests, the actual value of the overpressure for opening the displaced element is 2.7 kPa, which allows the discharge of the displaced element to be ensured. In the course of the study, the expediency of using blast-relief panels(BRP) in the form of wall sandwich panels was substantiated, and this technical solution was implemented at the facility with the possibility of a deflagration explosion
