1.2   DESCRIPTION

  **************************************************************************  *
                NOTE:  Unlike most other doors, a blast door is
                provided by one manufacturer as a complete assembly
                including the door, frame, hardware, and
                accessories.  This must be done because items such
                as the door, frame, latches, and hinges are of
                special manufacture and are interdependent parts of
                blast resistance.  To facilitate the specification
                of individual door assemblies, the door type, blast
                effects, rebound, deformation limits, operating
                forces, hardware, and accessories for each door are
                brought together under a blast door assembly
                specification in Part 2 where assembly specification
                paragraphs for the various door types are provided.  
  
                The designer will become familiar with these
                assembly paragraphs prior to specification editing.  
                Coordinate with paragraph BLAST DOOR ASSEMBLIES.  
  **************************************************************************  *
  
  [Structural steel doors shall be [flush mounted in frames] [or] [surface
  mounted] [as indicated].]  [Reinforced concrete doors shall be surface
  mounted.]  [Hollow metal doors shall be flush mounted in frames and shall
  be of unitized grid construction with two face sheets.]  Doors shall be the
  manually operated, side hinged, swinging type.  Each door assembly shall
  include the door, frame, anchors, hardware, and accessories and shall be
  provided by a single manufacturer.  Frames and anchors shall be capable of
  transferring blast and rebound reactions to the adjacent supporting
  structure.  Resistance to blast shall be demonstrated either by design
  calculations or tests on prototype door assemblies.

1.2.1   Design Requirements

1.2.1.1   Static Material Strength

  **************************************************************************  *
                NOTE:  The bracketed values for concrete apply to
                Type I portland cement and specified compressive
                strengths of 21 to 34 MPa (3 to 5 ksi).  
  **************************************************************************  *
  
  The static values for minimum yield strength (or yield point) and
  (ultimate) tensile strength for steel shall be obtained from the applicable
  material specification.  For tensile strength specified in terms of a
  tensile strength range, the lowest tensile strength specified shall be
  selected for design.  Structural steel having a minimum static yield
  strength (or yield point) less than 345 MPa (50 ksi) 50 ksi [and
  Grade 60 reinforcing bars] shall be designed using an average yield
  strength computed as 1.1 times the minimum static yield strength or yield
  point.  When the minimum static yield for structural steel exceeds 345
  MPa (50 ksi), 50 ksi, the average yield strength shall be taken as
  equal to the minimum static yield strength or yield point without increase.  
  [The in-place compressive strength of concrete shall be computed by adding
  [3 MPa (0.5 ksi)] [_____] MPa ([_____] ksi) [0.5] [_____] ksi to
  the specified compressive strength to reach the average compressive
  strength and then multiplying by [1.1] [_____] to account for age effects.]
  [The average yield stress for steel sheet and strip shall be computed as
  1.21 times the static yield point.]

1.2.1.2   Dynamic Material Strength

  The dynamic material strength shall be computed by applying a dynamic
  increase factor that accounts for the increase in material strength due to
  strain rate effects.  The dynamic increase factor for structural steel in
  flexure shall be applied to the average yield strength and shall be [1.29]
  [_____], [1.19] [_____], and [1.09] [_____] for structural steel having a
  minimum yield strength (or yield point) of 248 MPa (36 ksi), 345 MPa (50
  ksi), and 689 MPa (100 ksi), 36, 50, and 100 ksi, respectively.  The
  dynamic increase factor for structural steel having a minimum yield
  strength (or yield point) between these values shall be obtained by
  interpolation.  Optionally, for structural steel in these yield ranges, the
  dynamic increase factor shall be determined by a detailed analysis that
  accounts for the time to yield.  The dynamic increase factor for structural
  steel having a minimum yield exceeding 689 MPa (100 ksi) 100 ksi
  shall be 1.0.  [The dynamic increase factor for Grade 60 flexural
  reinforcing bars shall be [1.17] [_____] applied to the average yield
  strength.  The dynamic increase factor for concrete used in flexure shall
  be [1.19] [_____] applied to the in-place compressive strength.  
  Optionally, the dynamic increase factor applied to flexural reinforcing bar
  yield and concrete compressive strength shall be determined by a detailed
  analysis that accounts for the time to steel yield and time to ultimate
  concrete strength.]  [The dynamic increase factor for steel sheet and strip
  used in flexure shall be 1.1 applied to the average yield stress.]

1.2.1.3   Structural Member Design

  [Structural steel section properties for rolled shapes shall be obtained
  from AISC LFRD, Vol I,  ??? , or steel manufacturers'
  catalogs.  The plastic moment capacity for single plate sections and
  sections built up from plates and shapes shall be computed as the average
  of the elastic and plastic section modulus multiplied by the dynamic yield
  strength, unless otherwise approved.  Shear, welds, local buckling, and web
  crippling of structural steel shall be designed in accordance with
  AISC LFRD, Vol II, the plastic design provisions of AISC-04, or
  by other approved methods except that for blast design, the load factors
  and resistance factors shall be equal to 1.0 and the dynamic yield strength
  shall be substituted for the static yield stress.]  [Nominal reinforcing
  bar designations, weights, and dimensions shall be obtained from ACI
  318/318R or the reinforcing bar specification.  The moment of inertia of
  the reinforced concrete cross section used to determine the elastic
  deflection shall be the average of the moment of inertia of the gross
  section and the moment of inertia of the cracked section.  The resistance
  of the reinforced concrete section shall be computed in accordance with
  ACI 318/318R or other approved methods except that for blast design,
  the load and resistance factors shall be equal to 1.0 and the dynamic
  reinforcing bar yield strength and dynamic ultimate concrete strength shall
  be substituted for the static strength values.]  [Hollow metal doors shall
  be designed in accordance with AISI-02 except that for blast
  design, the dynamic yield strength shall be substituted for the static
  yield point.]

1.2.1.4   Dynamic Analysis and Deformation

  The door shall be designed using an equivalent single degree of freedom or
  other approved dynamic analysis method.  The maximum door deformation shall
  be selected by the door manufacturer except that the maximum deformation in
  flexure shall not exceed the deformation limits specified or indicated.  
  The deformation of structural steel members having a minimum yield strength
  or yield point greater than 448 MPa (65 ksi) 65 ksi shall not
  exceed the elastic deflection.  [Increased resistance due to strain
  hardening of structural steel in flexure can be used when the ductility
  ratio exceeds 10 or when otherwise approved.]  [The ductility ratio for
  flexural members in hollow metal doors shall not exceed 1.0.]

1.2.1.5   Rebound Resistance

  **************************************************************************  *
                NOTE:  For structural steel and hollow metal doors,
                specify 100 percent rebound resistance in the
                extreme case when the blast overpressure duration is
                much shorter than the expected period of the door
                and when rebound resistance must be guaranteed.  
                Specify less than 50 percent rebound resistance in
                the extreme case when the blast overpressure
                duration is much longer than the expected period of
                the door.  Specify zero rebound in the extreme case
                in which the door need not remain in place after the
                blast.  Otherwise, specify 50 percent rebound
                resistance as recommended in TM 5-1300, Chapter 5.  
                The most prevalent rebound resistance for reinforced
                concrete doors is 20 and 100 percent.  
  
                Rebound for each door will be specified in paragraph
                BLAST DOOR ASSEMBLIES.  
  **************************************************************************  *
  
  Rebound resistance shall be the specified or indicated percentage of the
  door resistance at initial peak response.

1.2.2   Blast Effects

  **************************************************************************  *
                NOTE:  Specifying doors in terms of overpressure
                without duration is recommended only when the
                overpressure is low and the overpressure duration is
                greater than about 10 times the expected period of
                the door.  Overpressure without duration is often
                specified for hollow metal doors because they have
                low overpressure resistance.  Hollow metal doors are
                available to resist overpressures in the range from
                6 to 173 kPa (1 to 25 psi), but a structural steel
                door option should be considered when the
                overpressure exceeds 83 kPa (12 psi).  
  
                Specifying time dependent overpressure is required
                for other than low and long duration overpressures
                and is recommended for reinforced concrete doors.  
                When the waveform is other than a zero rise time
                triangle, show the waveform on the drawings.  
  **************************************************************************  *
  
1.2.2.1   Overpressure

  The spatial distribution of overpressure shall be uniform unless otherwise
  specified or indicated.  [For overpressure specified or indicated without
  duration, the overpressure waveform shall have a zero rise time and
  infinite duration.]  [For overpressure specified or indicated with duration
  only, the waveform shall be a triangle with a zero rise time.]  [Special
  waveforms are indicated.]

1.2.2.2   Overpressure Direction

  [For overpressure identified as seating and for overpressure directions not
  otherwise specified or indicated, the positive phase overpressure shall be
  in the direction that causes the door to seat toward the frame.]  [For
  overpressure identified as unseating, the positive phase overpressure shall
  be in the direction that causes the door to unseat away from the frame.]

1.2.2.3   Fragment Resistance

  **************************************************************************  *
                NOTE:  Fragment design parameters will be determined
                in accordance with TM 5-1300, chapter 2 and TM
                5-855-1 as applicable.  Exposing blast doors to
                primary fragments is not recommended because of the
                resulting severe damage to hardware, because molten
                fragments can weld the door to the frame preventing
                post-blast opening, and because it is difficult to
                prevent perforation at the door edges.  Also, while
                latches and latch mechanisms can be protected, it is
                usually not practical to protect the hinges.  
  
                Worst-case fragment perforation of the door can be
                prevented for structural steel and reinforced
                concrete doors by specifying fragment
                characteristics or a minimum plate or concrete
                thickness in the door assembly paragraph.  
  
                The 100 and 200 mm (4 and 8 inch) reinforced
                concrete nominal thickness shown are typically
                available.  
  
                Hollow metal doors cannot prevent perforation by
                primary fragments and will not be used for this
                purpose.  
  
                Fragment parameters or door thickness will be
                specified in paragraph BLAST DOOR ASSEMBLIES.  
  **************************************************************************  *
  
  For doors specified or indicated to resist fragments, the door and the door
  and frame interface shall be designed to prevent fragment perforation and
  the latches and latching mechanism shall be shielded from fragment damage.  
  The fragment impact point shall be anywhere on the door and frame face
  exposed to overpressure.

1.2.3   Blast Door Operation

  **************************************************************************  *

  the door and frame proposed are manufactured using the same materials,
  dimensions, and tolerances as those in the prototype static test and the
  static overpressure used in the test is at least two times the blast
  overpressure.  Static test reports shall be supplemented with calculations
  that demonstrate rebound resistance when rebound is not tested.

2.6.2   Prototype Blast Test

  Blast tests on the prototype door assembly shall demonstrate that the door
  will resist the overpressure waveform.  Blast tests will be accepted only
  if the door and frame proposed are manufactured using the same materials,
  dimensions, and tolerances as those in the prototype blast tests.  The rise
  time of the test waveform shall be zero or subject to approval.  [For an
  overpressure with infinite duration, the overpressure used in the test
  shall be not less than that specified or indicated for a duration equal to
  at least five times the natural period of the door and the test report
  shall be supplemented with calculations that demonstrate the specified or
  indicated rebound resistance.]  [For overpressure with finite duration, the
  overpressure waveform used in the test shall exceed the overpressure
  waveform in both peak overpressure and impulse and the blast test report
  shall be supplemented with calculations that demonstrate the specified or
  indicated rebound resistance when the positive phase waveform duration in
  the test exceeds the positive phase duration specified or indicated.]

2.6.3   Shop Operating Test

  Prior to shipment, each door assembly shall be fully erected in a
  supporting structure and tested for proper operation.  Such testing shall
  include opening, closing, and operating all moving parts to ensure smooth
  operation and proper clearance, fit, and seating.  The operating forces and
  opening and closing times shall be determined.  The Contracting Officer
  shall be notified at least [7] [_____] calendar days prior to the start of
  testing and [all doors] [door [_____] [,] [_____] [,] [and] [_____]] shall
  be tested in the presence of the Contracting Officer.  A test report shall
  be prepared and [three] [_____] copies furnished within [7] [_____]
  calendar days after testing.
