NAVY UFGS-08 39 53 [ Active ]

NOTE:

This guide specification covers the requirements for blast resistant doors used in the construction or retrofit of earth covered magazines. It is highly recommended that installations and designers consult Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board Technical Paper 15 to determine if any ECM designs approved for new construction will fit the needs of the users. If a design is selected from Technical Paper 15 that is approved for new construction and the design of the door, door frame and its supporting reinforced concrete headwall are unchanged from the approved design drawings, then no additional blast design effort is needed, and this specification is not required. If a design is used that is not included in the list in Technical Paper 15 approved for new construction, or if a blast door is selected from an approved Technical Paper 15 design but the door frame or supporting reinforced concrete headwall deviates from this design, then this specification should be used
