Explosion-absorbing panels and wall structures

摘要: This invention resides in explosion-resistant walls, panels and partitions, particularly for use around buildings, works of art, public places, so forth, wherein, certain embodiments, may include textures and/or graphics to disguise beautify the structure. In terms a typical construction, system includes plurality vertical metal pipes, with portion each pipe being preferably buried several feet below ground surface, remains exposed above ground. Two or more horizontal pipes are interconnected creating apertures that filled explosion-absorbing panels. contrast “explosion-proof” panels, which require sufficient strength remain tact presence blast, infill according some form attachment mechanism “gives way” an explosion, thereby effectively absorbing shock. alternative be constructed fabric such Kevlar, other material mesh, either deforms breaks upon impact blast. Alternatively, solid panel even thick acrylic polymeric used, becomes detached from frame structure impact, but does not get thrown uncontrolled manner. Rather, hinges tethers keep dislodged connected preferred embodiment, made steel, one fortifying material, as cement. A cover provided visually obscure pipes. Such give appearance brick, cinder block, stone wood. addition, floral decorative element. For example, die-cut painted look like foliage building environment barrier is intended protect.
