The results of a series of two-dimensional plane-strain, dynamic finite element, structure-medium interaction code calculations are presented. These calculations parametrically investigated the effect of variations in constitutive properties of the backfill region around a hypothetical, shallow-buried protective structure. Two parameter studies were conducted on this plane-strain idealization of a simple buried structure while under a long duration local surface air-blast loading: The first investigated differences in the dynamic response of the structure under this loading due to changing the surrounding backfill from a dense (or well-compacted) glacial till to the same material in a loose ...
