ALC Demolitions Study Guide 2023 Complete Publication for Explosives and Demolitions TM 3-34.82 Publication for Engineer Field Data TM 3-34.85 What is required for C4 to ignite? Heat and Pressure What are the three Detonating Effects? - Deformation - Spalling - Radial Cracking How does charge construction affect the outcome of the blast? - Placement and priming. Where the prime is placed will dictate the direction of the explosive wave. When a charge detonates, what does the explosion change into? - Highly compressed gas Problem Solving Format: Step 1 Identify and measure critical dimensions. Problem Solving Format: Step 2 Calculate for TNT/Rule of thumb Problem Solving Format: Step 3 - Divide by RE Factor (Skip this step if using TNT) Problem Solving Format: Step 4 - Divide by package weight/volume round up to next whole package.
