ARMCO revetment walls are used as barricades to separate and prevent sympathetic detonation (SD) among munitions. These revetment walls are constructed and located to form modules to protect ordnance handling and aircraft servicing areas. The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center was tasked by the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board to determine by analogy and analysis the maximum credible event for which ARMCO revetment modules prevent SD of thin case and robust case munitions. Based on analysis and test results, it is recommended that the maximum net explosive weight (NEW) stored in an ARMCO revetment module with 7-foot thick revetment walls be limited to 18,000-lb when thin case ordnance is located in an adjacent module.
