Q

What are the four types of blast pressure?

A

Dynamic
Incidental
Reflective
Residual

17
Q

What is dynamic blast pressure?

A

Impact of the shock front

18
Q

What is incidental blast pressure?

A

Pressure 90 degrees to the blast front, i.e. behind cover

19
Q

What is reflective blast pressure?

A

Pressure will reflect back at twice the strength at 90 degree angles, corners can quadruple pressure

20
Q

What is residual blast pressure?

A

Overpressure built up in a confined place

21
Q

What is the most important hazard mitigation factor?

A

Breacher fall back point

22
Q

Types of urban breaching charges

A 
18" strip
Flex linear
Rigid linear
Water impulse
Rubber strip
Silhouette
Uli knot sliding
23
