Ok, I planned to do this some time ago... like 3 years ago, but at that time I was finishing university and should have forgoten about it or simply lost the interest, but now that i'm "free" (I'm not running the risk of failing a class at least), I can make a thread about it.
Currently with have the Explosion Radius/Area page as reference how much an explosion yields in relation to its radius, but that only covers airburst explosion (or what is the same, thos ethat explode in mid-air, most common with nuclear explosion), but we do not have a reference page that expand into ground-level explosion. As a result, I made a blog 3 years ago: Surface Explosions: Effects and Radius. It haven't been altered in over 3 years, but I believe our standards for explosions haven't changed, although I would reccommend giving it a look.
The blog does not only give a yield/radius relationship for 20 psi explosions, but also gives yoy the different equations for different values of pressure the shockwave possesses (named overpressure), with the respective destructive reference to how determinate what overpressure should have an explosion. This is important since I noticed that several explosions calcs uses the 20 psi equation when there's nothing taht suggests the overpressure is that high.
So this thread is to add the Surface Explosion tables to the guidelines, doing the necessary adjustments.
