US 10,765,045 B1 · Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protective composite enclosure panel system and EMP protective building structures and systems

Abstract

An EMP-protective composite structure that includes at least one enclosure having walls, a ceiling, at least one ingress/egress portal and a base, each of the walls, the ceiling, the ingress/egress portal and the base including at least one blast-resistant structural panel and at least one layer of an EMP barrier that provides magnetic conduction, field absorption and field reflection fully-enclosing the structural panel. An encapsulation barrier is provided having a blast-deflecting surface overlying the at least one enclosure. A HEMP door or circuitous path is provided from an exterior of the EMP-protective structure, through the encapsulation barrier and to the at least one ingress/egress portal of the enclosure. The circuitous path is configured to absorb and deflect EMP as the EMP passes along the circuitous path. Embodiments of the blast-resistant structural panel are also disclosed.

Dependent claims

An EMP-protective composite structure, comprising:

(a) at least one enclosure having walls, a roof, at least one ingress/egress tunnel and a foundation, each of the walls, the roof, the at least one ingress/egress tunnel and the foundation including blast-resistant protective enclosure panels and at least one layer of an EMP protective material that provides magnetic conduction, field reflection and field reflection fully-enclosing the protective enclosure panels;
(b) a reinforced CCR cap overlying the at least one enclosure;
and
(c) a high electromagnetic protection (HEMP) protective door formed in the enclosure to absorb and deflect EMP.

An EMP-protective composite structure, comprising:

(a) at least one enclosure having walls, a roof, at least one ingress/egress tunnel and a foundation, each of the walls, the roof, the ingress/egress tunnel and the foundation including at least one blast-resistant protective enclosure panel and at least one layer of an EMP protective material of CCR that provides magnetic conduction, field absorption and field reflection fully-enclosing the blast-resistant protective enclosure panel, the blast-resistant panel comprising a panel constructed of spaced-apart panel members of a ferrous material, panel reinforcing members extending between and connecting the spaced-apart panel members, and a cementitious material in which the panel is embedded;
(b) a reinforced CCR cap overlying the at least one enclosure;
and
(c) an opening communicating with a labyrinthine path from an exterior of the EMP-protective structure and through the reinforced CCR cap, the labyrinthine path configured to absorb and deflect EMP as the EMP passes along the labyrinthine path.
