Based on Hopkinson-Cranz scaling, ConWep uses the formula: [ Z = R / W^1/3 ] Where ( R ) is the distance from the blast center (in meters or feet), and ( W ) is the charge weight (in kg or lbs, typically TNT-equivalent).
It is widely used to simulate:
ConWep software distinguishes between:
Following high-profile terrorist bombings (e.g., Oklahoma City, 1995), building codes for government buildings, embassies, and petrochemical facilities began requiring blast-resistant design. ConWep software provides the necessary blast loads for designing laminated glass, blast doors, and reinforced frames. conwep software
