Design of Sliding Door for TNT Explosion 1

[Angre]

Hi All,

We have a request from client to design a sliding door system to resist explosion from 50kg of TNT at distance of 0.50 m.

Now, I'm familiar with designing for blast resistant doors in petrochemical facilities, but this is something entirely different.

Are there any design guidelines for designing to such explosive related blasts?

"the design of iron mongery would be simpler."

Seems to me that added weight on rollers and tracks is hardly "simpler"
