help locating manual
i am having a hard time locating a copy of air force manual tm5-1300,“Structures to resist the effects of accidental explosions."
can anyone help?
appears you can buy a copy for $180 at
tm 5-1300, if you print it out, is more than 6,000 pages long. it's designed as an interactive "expert system." the website carlb cites (the wbdg site) has contact info for tm 5-1300.
i thought these manuals were put out so that no one gets access to them on the internet.
what do you need one for? are you doing work for the federal government? if so, they should provide you with one copy.
i also agree with the above post, it is a huge volume.
regards,
lutfi
thanks for the help!
i have e-mailed and left a phone message at the uscoe website for a copy but have yet to get any response.
i have an existing metal building that i am analyzing to make structural modifications to upgrade its wind load capacity. as an addendum, the client has requested a blast wave resistance capacity.
i need the manual to assist in this.
i have a copy of asce's "design of blast resistant buildings in petrochemical facilities" and it is very helpful, but it heavily references this manual.
i understood that the manual was approximately 1000 pages (not 6000!!).
you most definitely can buy that publication online. i just did back in december. it was recently declassified, so it is officially public information. please visit:
thanks jalegan,
i just ordered the pdf. only it sounds like you got a deal. it cost me $161!!
