Do you have your study published in a peer-reviewed or refereed publication?
Sorry, but I don't get my information regarding blast from Popular
Mechanics, nor from anything that uses the word "bombproof".
I would appreciate a reference as above.

Regards,
Larry

Subject: Blast Resistance of Bridges-Popular Mechanics Article


Dear SEAINT Friends: If you have interest in blast resistance of
bridges, there is an article posted this week on the Popular Mechanics
web site:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/transportation/4224710.html

It refers to some of our research work on this subject.  More
information on our project is posted on my web site at:
www.ce.berkeley.edu/~astaneh   then click on "Steel Bridges,
Blast-Resistance"  almost at the center of my homepage above "World
Trade Center".

Best wishes as always.
