Blast mitigation and ballistic protection system and components thereof
A blast resistant coated wood member includes a wood member having a compression side and a tension side. A coating layer of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is adhered to the tension side of the wood member.
1. A blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly comprising:
a plurality of panel members, each having two major faces;
wherein an interior major face defines a tension side of the first panel;
wherein an exterior major face defines a compression side of the first panel; and
wherein at least the tension side of the first panel member is substantially covered by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP); and
a structural frame member having a substantially rectangular transverse cross-section with a compression side, a tension side, and two lateral sides, at least the tension side of the structural frame member being substantially covered by FRP;
wherein the structural frame member extends from a first one of the panel members to a second one of the panel members such that the tension side of the structural frame member is connected to the compression side of the first one of the panel members, and the compression side of the structural frame member is connected to the tension side of the second one of the panel members, thereby defining a blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly.
2. A blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly comprising:
a first panel member defining an interior wall member and having two major faces;
wherein an interior major face defines a tension side of the first panel;
wherein an exterior major face defines a compression side of the first panel; and
wherein at least the tension side of the first panel member is substantially covered by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP);
a structural frame member having a substantially rectangular transverse cross-section with a compression side, a tension side, and two lateral sides, at least the tension side of the structural frame member being substantially covered by FRP and
a second composite panel member defining an exterior wall member, including:
a first composite layer;
a second composite layer;
a core disposed between the first and second composite layers, the core formed from one of wood and a wood product; and
an encapsulation layer covering all exposed surfaces of the second composite panel member;
wherein the structural frame member extends from the first panel member to the second composite panel member such that the compression side of the first panel member is connected to the tension side of the structural fame member and the second composite panel member is connected to the compression side of the structural frame member.
3. The blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly according to claim 2 , further including a plurality of structural frame members.
4. The blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the tension side and the compression side of the first panel member are substantially covered by FRP.
5. The blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the tension side and the compression side of the structural frame member are substantially covered by FRP.
