Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a blast-resistant panel may include a layer of a pre-cured elastomeric material having a predetermined thickness, a body portion, and a plurality of flanges, each of the plurality of flanges having a substantially equal width and depending away from a same side and at approximately equivalent right angles to the body portion. The blast-resistant panel may also include a plurality of fastener elements for securing the pre-cured elastomeric material layer to a surface of a structure through the plurality of flanges of pre-cured elastomeric material layer.

1-27. (canceled)
A blast-resistant panel comprising:
- a contiguous layer of a pre-cured elastomeric material having a substantially uniform predetermined thickness, the contiguous layer of pre-cured elastomeric material including a body portion and a plurality of flanges, the body portion of the pre-cured elastomeric material having a plurality of outer edges and a length substantially equal to a height of a wall in a structure, and each of the plurality of flanges of the pre-cured elastomeric material having a substantially equal width and depending away from one of the plurality of outer edges on a same side and at approximately equivalent right angles to the body portion;
- and
- a plurality of fastener elements for securing the pre-cured elastomeric material layer against the wall of the structure through the plurality of flanges of the pre-cured elastomeric material layer and into at least a floor and a ceiling near the wall in the structure.
A blast-resistant panel comprising:
- a contiguous layer of a pre-cured, flexible elastomeric material having a substantially uniform predetermined thickness, the contiguous layer of pre-cured flexible elastomeric material including a body portion and a plurality of flanges, the body portion of the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material having a plurality of outer edges and a length substantially equal to a height of a wall in a structure, and each of the plurality of flanges of the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material having a substantially equal width and depending away from one of the plurality of outer edges on a same side and at approximately equivalent right angles to the body portion;
- and
- a plurality of fastener elements for securing the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material layer against the wall of the structure through the plurality of flanges of the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material layer and into at least a floor and a ceiling near the wall in the structure.
A blast-resistant panel comprising:
- a contiguous layer of a pre-cured, flexible elastomeric material having a substantially uniform predetermined thickness, the contiguous layer of pre-cured flexible elastomeric material including a body portion and a plurality of flanges, the body portion of the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material having a plurality of outer edges, a length substantially equal to a height of a wall in a structure and a width of at least two feet, and each of the plurality of flanges of the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material having a substantially equal width and depending away from one of the plurality of outer edges on a same side and at approximately equivalent right angles to the body portion, the pre-cured layer of the flexible elastomeric material comprising at least two opposing flanges;
- a fabric reinforcement layer in the flexible elastomeric material including in the body portion and the at least two opposing flanges;
- and
- a plurality of fastener elements for securing the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material layer against the wall of the structure through the plurality of flanges of the pre-cured flexible elastomeric material layer and the fabric reinforcement layer and into at least a floor and a ceiling near the wall in the structure.
