Abstract
A pressure relief wall assembly has a liner panel and first and second exterior panels. A first portion or end of the liner panel is secured to one part of the frame. A second portion or end of the liner panel is releasably fastened to another part of the frame, by a plurality of first elements, which elements fail when an excess pressure is applied to either side of the wall assembly. A first end or portion of the first exterior panel is secured to the one part of the frame, and a second end portion of the first exterior panel is secured to the liner panel, for example, at a location midway between the two parts of the frame. The second exterior panel has a first portion secured to the other part of the frame. A second, end portion of the second exterior panel is releasably fastened to the liner panel or to the first exterior panel by a plurality of second elements, which fail when excess pressure is applied to the assembly. In response to excess pressure, the first and second elements fail. The liner panel and the first exterior panel deflect, while remaining attached to the one part of the frame. The second exterior panel remains attached to the other part of the frame, but becomes detached from the other panels. It also deflects, so that the excess pressure is released and no excessive loads are applied to the frame.
