Impact Loading Produced by an Exploding Grenade
Impact Loading Produced by an Exploding Grenade
(OP)
I am designing a blast proof RC Wall for a Grenade Area (the soldiers are going to practice throwing grenades at the wall). The issue is that I have been unable to find a good resource for impact force produced by an exploding grenade. Can anyone help me on this? From a similar experience? What can be the impact loading produced by an exploding Grenade?
P.S. An exploding MK 61 grenade produces blast winds of up to 5 psi and has a blast velocity of 8000 m/s. If someone can translate these parameters into an impact force, I'd be much obliged.

You could look for design documents from Army Corps of Engineers or FEAM:

The old grenades were made to produce shrapnel, is that still the case?
