D.5.7
Estimation of Window Damage. Generally, buildings contain windows that are
highly vulnerable to damage from the effects of an explosion. Common annealed glass will
normally fail between 0.2 psi and 0.5 psi (0.014 to 0.035 kgf/sq cm). Table D-10 shows the
distances for threshold breakage of two conventional window sizes. Smaller windows will
withstand slightly higher pressures (which equates to smaller standoff distances) than large
windows. The ratio of length to width (aspect ratio) and thickness also have a minor effect.
