Title

Dynamic Effects From The Space Shuttle Liftoff

Abstract

This paper presents a study of the dynamic effects of the Space Shuttle launches on the ground support structures at Launch Pad 39A at the NASA-Kennedy Space Center. Pressure and structural acceleration data recently recorded at the Kennedy Space Center in support of a 1990-1992 study were reviewed and incorporated with additional recordings of similar data at other locations, and with the measurement of ground accelerations. The combined effects of excitation pressure and ground acceleration on the launch pad support structures are significant.
