Abstract

BLADE can support the assessment of blast related vulnerabilities of structures and people though the following features:

• Estimate the level of protection of and consequences on structures, structural components and persons against blast attack scenarios
• State-of-the-art ‘structure and component library’ in the application with recently published Pressure-Impulse curves for a wide range of materials and impact on persons
• ‘Software as a Service (SaaS) approach’ provides easy access whenever needed, without worrying about compatibility, installation, maintenance or other constraints
• Convenient and controlled access via ‘EU Login’
• JRC provides ‘cost-free’ access to interested stakeholders on a justified ‘need-to-know’ basis
