Blast Resistant Free Standing Wall

[iv63]

I am very familiar with ASCE’s “Design of Blast Resistant Building in Petrochemical Facilities” and it deals only with the enclosed buildings. Our Client wants us to design free standing wall between blast source and the equipment. Any guidelines/references on design of blast resistant free standing wall would be appreciated.

You're going to want to use a dynamic analysis, which requires computer software. If you're a contractor for the government/military, you can get really great software for free from the USACE Protective Design Center. Download SBEDS, it's relatively intuitive.
