Mortar Roofs
 There is no foolproof method of guaranteeing perfect safety from
mortar attack. Our mortar defense structures provide a viable solution
to the problem. A building mortar bomb defence will be improved
with Defence-Structures mortar roofs consisting
of:
a) A yielding steel grillage mounted on yielding steel supports
on a stand off above the roof. This will catch, disrupt or detonate
mortar bombs.
b) A reinforced concrete deck built onto composite style steel
decking. This will stop penetration of small fragments. Larger more
energetic fragments, though they may pulverise the concrete and
bulge or even penetrate the steel decking, will have lost most of
their energy. The concrete deck is supported by steel frames.
c) A standoff below the concrete deck to the normal roof of the
building designed for climatic protection but probably able to stop
any remaining fragments.
d) Where large calibre anti tank rockets are being used as mortars,
but on a medium trajectory instead of high, the defence structures
mortar roof may need additional bracing against the horizontal kinetic
energy of the projectiles.
