WALL STRUCTURE WITH RELEASABLE CANVAS PANELS AND AERODYNAMICCANVAS PANEL SUPPORTING BRACES

摘要

The explosion-safe wall includes a canvas wall structure and a wall support frame fixedly anchored to the ground. The canvas wall structure defines opposite first and second sides facing in respective opposite first and second tangential directions a nd comprises a brace assembly including a number of braces each having a convex brace wall orient ed towards the first tangential direction. The canvas wall structure also comprises bracket s fixedly attaching the brace assembly to the wall support frame at least one canvas panel, and a number of yieldingly releasable attachment joints releasably attaching the canvas panel to corresponding braces, with the attachment joints defining a yielding resistance threshold. upon a blast impinging on the canvas panel towards the second tangential direction with sufficient force t o overcome the yielding resistance threshold of the attachment joints, the attachment joint s will yieldingly release the canvas panels from their corresponding braces, with the convex brace wal ls oriented towards the first tangential direction providing an aerodynamic shape that will deflect the blast to help prevent the blast from blowing the braces away.
