dc.description.abstractThis work relates to the effcts of the degree of confiement for air blasts only. The response of a structure subjected to a blast load is dependent on several factors; for instance stand off distance, geometry and mass of explosive, geometry of the structure, medium (air, water, soil) and degree of confinement. Depending on the location of the explosion relative to the surrounding structures different degrees of confinement are obtained. In addition, depending on the degree of confinement the accumulation of high temperature gas products will exert additional loads on the structure. This thesis reports the results of experimental and numerical investigations into the effct of the different degrees of confinement and target plate thickness on the response of square mild steel target plate.en_ZA
