2. Breakage response of glass panels subject to long-duration blast

Abstract

Glass windows are vulnerable building components and, in the event of a blast, give rise to a large damage radius. Many older buildings contain annealed glass which shatters instantly into angular shards, lacerating the skin on impact and causing significant injury. Up to 80% of injuries in an urban blast are caused by glass failure. In the far-field of large explosions, long-duration blast environments occur, typically defined by a positive phase duration greater than 40ms. Resulting impulses can cause window failure several kilometres away from the point of detonation. Data from long-duration blast events indicate window failure is highly dependent on glazing aspect ratio, area and other structural parameters. Inconsistency in window response has been attributed to material strength variation which can be in excess of ±25%. The Glazing Hazard Guide, the current UK design standard, indicates windows with matching dimensions respond consistently to blast loading, incorporates no extrapolation method to other glazing dimensions and has been demonstrated to be overly conservative. In this thesis, influence of glazing aspect ratio, support conditions, material strength and the blast environment on window failure was investigated. Four phases of experimental testing and a comprehensively benchmarked parametric study enabled quantification of the influence of these parameters. Full-scale experimental testing of glazing response to long-duration blast was undertaken in the air blast tunnel (ABT) at MOD Shoeburyness, UK. Glazing response was dependent on complex interactions between structural and blast parameters. Experimental repeats importantly indicated significant data spread, demonstrating that glazing response should be measured as a probability of failure. Damage probability curves and pressure-impulse charts with contours of failure probability were produced for each parameter and were proposed as a new design method. These charts capture true glazing behaviour, are easy to interpret and highlight to the user that window response should be treated statistically. Findings indicated variation in material strength due to distribution of flaws produced the largest spread in failure pressure.

9. The Economic Diversity of Rural England: Stylised Fallacies and Uncertain Evidence

Author

Hodge, Ian and Monk, Sarah

Abstract

Debate about rural policy is often based on persistent presumptions about conditions in "rural England," generally associated with economic decline, low incomes, and a lack of services. Such generalisations are rarely justified for rural areas as a whole and we term them as "stylised fallacies." The impression of their relevance is perpetuated by the selective comparison of statistics for "urban" and "rural" areas. The paper reviews the evidence on a number of such fallacies: the economic impact of agriculture, depopulation, low incomes, rural labour markets, house prices and service provision. In each case, the position is far more complex than is commonly recognised in policy debate. The rural character of an area does not in itself offer a rationale for policy intervention. Rather, discussion could be supported through the characterisation of different types of local area. This might be approached either through statistical analysis or through qualitative analysis of emerging social and economic patterns of differentiation. In practice, each approach needs to be supported through the other.

21. An exploration of 'bundles' as indicators of rural disadvantage

Abstract

An argument is presented in support of using bundles to identify and interpret socioeconomic disadvantage in rural areas. Bundles are defined as notional groups of people residing under specific sets of circumstances relating to access to housing, services, and employment.

25. Quantifying the Influence of Aspect Ratio on Window Failure when Subject to Long-duration Blast Loading

Author

Monk, Sarah and Clubley, Simon

Abstract

Windows differ vastly in size and shape, even for a single building. Analysis of post-explosion photographs shows that aspect ratio can have a significant effect on the survival of a window. While new constructions use laminated glass to mitigate damage, many older buildings still contain more fragile annealed glass. In the United Kingdom, 4mm-thick annealed glass represents the minimum specification for windows and therefore the worst damage case. This paper reports on the effect of window aspect ratio on the failure characteristics of annealed glass subjected to long-duration planar blast waves. Long-duration blasts are typically defined by a positive phase duration greater than 100ms, observed in the far field of large explosions which produce large impulses. The air blast tunnel (ABT) at MOD Shoeburyness is a unique testing facility capable of simulating pressure regimes observed in long-duration blast events. In a series of eight full-scale trials in the ABT, sixteen 4mm-thick annealed glass windows were examined. Four different aspect ratios, from 1:1 to 1:2, were considered. High-speed photography captured glass response while fibre-optic controlled instrumentation recorded full incident and reflected pressure histories. Results from the experimental study demonstrate that aspect ratio significantly influences the break time and crack propagation in glass panels.

31. Why is it so difficult to create really good places? : Recently built affordable housing in England

Author

Monk, Sarah and Tunstall, Rebecca

Abstract

Housing development in England was subject to energetic policymaking 2000-2010. Policies encouraged reuse of brownfield land, higher densities, good quality design and mixed communities, and greater role for the planning system in the supply of affordable housing. Practice guidance for affordable housing emphasised careful site choice, layout and design, as well as the quality of individual homes, in order to avoid past problems in some social housing, provide good value, sustainable homes, and to create really good places. This paper draws on part of recent research on affordable housing delivery in England of the past thirty years. It uses case studies of 5 local authority areas and 18 sites to explore how far developments of affordable housing completed 2002/03-2007/08 in England can be described as ‘really good places’, and what might explain any limitations found. It draws conclusions and implications for policy.
