The objective of the research was to investigate the Air Force's tactical shelter designs and determine the extent to which blast and penetration resistance could be incorporated into the design. This was to be done within existing weight, cost and other constraints specified in the relevant Military Specifications. We deal here with the standard 8x8x13 ft rectangular parallel piped, although the work here is applicable to the 8x8x20 ft shelter. This shelter must be capable of efficient transport by plane, ship, helicopter, rail, or truck without damage to the structure. The shelter should be capable of withstanding a 7.25 psi overpressure (peak pressure). (jes)
