Project: Develop a Project: Develop barrier that can conventional design effectively prevent drawings and damage to a facility specifications for behind it where a constructing several large bomb was to buildings at detonate next to the Children's Hospital barrier of Los Angeles. The skills of the Karagozian & Case engineering staff are focused in five complementary areas: Design/Analysis relating to Blast, test specimens for blast and shock effects Shock, and Impact Loads tests. K&C specializes in engineering design that Risk Assessment/Mitigation reduces the threat and effects from blast K&C provides clients with risk assessment loads, high-velocity impacts (e.g., from and mitigation studies associated with vehicles and bullets), and shock loads. blast effects and high-velocity impacts. K&C also offers validation testing of These studies define the site specific existing blast and impact resistant threats and vulnerabilities, cite mitigation designs, and advanced computational measures and their cost, and enable structural dynamics analysis that clients to understand their risks and simulates the actual responses that occur options pursuant to the countering of in blast and impact events. Design threats terrorist, explosive, and other similar include terrorist bombings, accidental threats. Assessments are performed with explosions, and high velocity impacts. In K&C's own assessment tools. The highly addition, for over four decades, K&C has visual style of our results presentation provided designs and performed blast greatly aids the client in understanding effects tests of hardened military the issues involved. Our extensive structures to resist damage from both experience with blast and impact testing conventional and nuclear weapons. We of components and systems and the have designed numerous test fixtures and 6 design of blast-resistant systems has resistant designs to integrate smoothly enabled K&C to deliver proven mitigation with conventional designs. concepts that are both practical and Research and Development innovative, at realistic costs. K&C is one of the leading institutions in Perimeter Defense Design and the world in providing research and Analysis development services to the Government K&C offers a comprehensive array of and product manufacturers related to the perimeter security services, catering to development of blast and shock resistant Government and private interests both in devices and technologies. K&C uses high- the U.S. and abroad. We have designed, fidelity physics-based (HFPB) modeling tested, and implemented complete techniques to perform blast/impact effects defense systems that include features analysis for develop designs and devices such as vehicle barriers, fences, walls, for blast and impact resistance. K&C gates, entry control facilities, and forced developed and implemented the physics- entry construction. K&C assists clients based concrete model that is available in with all key aspects of design and LS-DYNA (i.e., MAT_072) for performing deployment, a process that begins with blast and impact effects anslysis of site-specific threat
