Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a blast-resistant barrier and in particular to a barrier comprising at least one polycarbonate panel.
  • Government and commercial buildings e.g., hotels, casinos, malls, airports and stadiums have proven attractive targets for bombing attacks throughout the world.
  • the attacker in most cases, is a politically motivated terrorist using, as a weapon, a high explosive device transported and detonated inside a vehicle adjacent to the targeted building.
  • the explosive device carried in such vehicles is typically capable of generating a shock wave of sufficient force as to shear the face off unprotected buildings, leading to tremendous loss of life and property damage.
  • the resulting debris field surrounding the building is often several feet thick blocking entrances.
  • glass remnants dangle precariously, potentially falling from great heights to the ground in the slightest breeze. Consequently, both hazards hinder and threaten the safety of emergency response teams as they attempt to enter the damaged building to render aid to the injured.
  • Patent 3,624,238 concerns a bullet resistant laminated structure that includes outer faces or plies of safety glass with an intermediary ply formed of a polycarbonate resin.
  • U.S. Patent 4,312,903 deals with an impact resistant double glazed structure made of glass and polycarbonate and is concerned in particular with the thickness of the layers of the laminated window panes, and their chemical compositions.
  • U.S. Patent 5,059,467 is concerned with a protective ballistic panel including a first-impact, front layer and a second rear layer, the layers being spaced from one another by a semi-elastic material, defining a sealed space.
  • the panel is used as a personnel protective shield.
  • U.S. Patent 6,266,926 describes a flexible apparatus that is deployed by inflating a protective barrier adjacent to windows to reduce the quantity of debris hazard in the event of an explosion.
  • U.S. Patent 6,349,505 discloses a louver system mounted adjacent to the inside and/or outside of a glass window and reinforced using high elongation cables or straps attached to the floor and ceiling. The louver system would immediately close upon detection of an explosion, reducing the quantity of debris hazard in the building.
  • U.S. Patent 4,625,659 disclosed a bullet and explosion proof window or door system comprising two spaced apart panels, whereby the outer panel is spaced from a support soffit such that a gap is formed for providing a ventilation channel. However, peripheral portions of the panels are fitted with a security layer in order to prevent projectiles from entering through the ventilation gap.
  • U.S. Patents 6,177,368 and 4,642,255 disclosed blast- resistant panels produced from PVC and woven fiberglass, and polyvinyl acetal, glass and a fibrous layer encapsulated in the polyvinyl acetal layer.
  • U.S. Patent 3,191 ,728 disclosed a barrier consisting of welded metal strips, as protection for workers in aircraft parking areas from the exhaust of jet engines.
  • U.S. Patent 5,277,952 disclosed a decorative, cracked mirrored, glass panels created from glass bonded together with a polymeric interlayer.
  • U.S. Patents 5,643,666, 5,894,048, 5,958,539, 5,998,028 and 6,025,069 disclosed panels consisting of laminated copolyester sheets and containing decorative interlayers and high relief surfaces.
  • Retrofits to protect building facades have traditionally involved strengthening of walls.
  • wall-strengthening is often an invasive operation which adversely affects the appearance of the structure and impacts building operations. It is, therefore, desirable to have a structure that is unobtrusive, easy to install, and at the same time protective of the entire building from the devastating effects of a vehicular bombing attack.
  • a blast-resistant barrier comprising a plurality of units each including a panel having a thickness of greater than 20 to less than 40 millimeter.

  • the panel is fixedly attached to a frame which is firmly embedded in concrete in a manner calculated to provide stiffness sufficient to absorb and withstand external forces resulting from said blast.
  • the panel includes at least two polycarbonate sheets laminated one to the other, optionally including an image layer interposed therebetween.
  • the frame is anchored securely to the target enabling dissipation of the blast force through the target's structure.

  • first and second sheets are not necessarily the outermost sheets of the inventive panel.
  • the panel may contain a plurality of sheets (layers) on each side of the image layer as well as several image layers. It is however required that the total thickness of the panel be greater than 20 and less than 40 mm.

Otherwise, for higher or lower modulus materials such as aluminum, equivalent section properties are preferably followed through use of thicker or thinner walls.

  • the pressure was released and the press opened.
  • the assembly was then transferred to the cold press (press platen temperature of 65° F) and the pressure in the cold press was increased to 94 psi.
  • a yet additional panel in the form of a laminate that includes textile as the image layer was prepared.
  • the sheet was unmasked, cleaned with 50/50% (by volume) water/isopropyl solution, air dried and the static electricity was removed from the sheet using deionized air.
  • the following were assembled on a table in order (top to bottom): 0.5" X 4' X 8' polycarbonate sheet, image layer (sheer nylon textile), 0.025" aliphatic TPU film (Deerfield A 4700), 0.5" X 4' X 8'polycarbonate sheet.
  • the assembly was then inserted into a vacuum bag which was subsequently evacuated to 29 "of mercury. This vacuum was maintained 1 hr prior to, and subsequently throughout, the autoclaving cycle.
  • the vacuum bag with its contents was then placed in an autoclave and heated 2.5°F/min for 96 min to 240 °F. At the same time the pressure was increased 3.8 psi/min to 171 psi over 45 minutes. The 240 0 F temperature was then held for 90 min at 171 psi.
  • the vacuum bag was gradually cooled at 2.0 0 F/ min to 105 0 F, and the pressure was then reduced at 3.8 psi/min to ambient. The assembly was allowed to sit undisturbed for another hour. Finally the assembly was removed from the vacuum bag.
  • a virtual barrier structure produced in accordance with the invention was tested in a ABAQUS computer model simulating vehicular bomb blasts.
  • the model simulated a blast using the equivalent of 2000 pounds of trinitrotoluene (TNT) against a panel wherein the panel was a 4' by 8' sheet of polycarbonate 25 to 35 mm thick at distances of 100 feet, 80 feet and 50 feet, and against 2' by 8' sheets of polycarbonate 25 mm thick at 80 feet, 50 feet and 40 feet from the blast resistant barrier.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une barrière résistant à l’explosion comprenant une pluralité d’unités, chacune comprenant un panneau ayant une épaisseur supérieure à 20 et inférieure à 40 millimètres. Le panneau a la forme d’une feuille ou d’un stratifié de polycarbonate monolithique qui est positionné verticalement entre la source d’une explosion et la cible d’une explosion, le stratifié comprenant au moins deux feuilles de polycarbonate et une couche d’image facultative intercalée entre celles-ci. Le panneau est solidement fixé à un cadre qui est fermement inclus dans du béton d’une manière calculée pour apporter suffisamment de rigidité afin d’absorber et de supporter les forces externes résultant de ladite explosion. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le panneau comprend au moins deux feuilles de polycarbonate stratifiées l’une sur l’autre, comprenant facultativement une couche d’image intercalée entre celles-ci. Dans un mode de réalisation supplémentaire, le cadre est ancré solidement à la cible, permettant la dissipation de la force d’explosion à travers la structure de la cible. La hauteur de la barrière résistant à l’explosion est de préférence proportionnelle à la hauteur de la cible.
