ABSTRACT:
A pressure relief wall assembly has a wall panel, one end of which is permanently secured to a frame. A plurality of elements secure a second end of the wall panel to the frame, and these elements fail when an excess pressure is applied to the wall panel. A retaining member is provided so that, when excess pressure is applied to one of the two sides of the wall panel, the second end of the wall panel is retained until a further increase of pressure occurs. The retaining member then releases the second end of the wall panel. This enables the wall assembly to be designed for different release pressures in blow-in and blow-out modes, so that no excess load is applied to a support frame in either mode.
