P-Blast is a Probabilistic blast-load calculator developed by the Centre for Infrastructure Performance and Reliability at the University of Newcastle, Australia. The program uses Kingery & Bulmash's polynomials as the basis for blast load calculations within each Monte-Carlo iteration. Some variables are considered deterministically, and others probabilistically. Program output is Pressure, Impuse and Duration. This is the first published version of P-Blast, and does NOT have a user friendly GUI. Given that some variables are input by the user, and others are implicit with the software, users MUST contact The Centre for Infrastructure Performance and Reliability at the University of Newcastle for guidance on correct use.
