Full-scale field tests of concrete slabs subjected to blast loads

[RF328]

I'm working on a DAQ Project to capture data (force, pressure displacement, vibration ) for full scale blast testing of concrete slabs from load cells, accelerometers and strain gauges & pressure sensors.

The project is LabVIEW-based. Can anyone who is familiar with military blast test help me to identify the suitable sensors as I do not have any experience in blast testing ?

Also, what is the 'safe' wire length from sensors to DAQ modules for blast testing ? 

Thank you in advance.

No experience in blast test (except new year during childhood   ) , however by nature blast test are quite dynamic

 so you need fast sensors. 

Cables act like capacitors, if accelerated they tend to move charge, so sensors with low impedance help.

Time to pick up the phone and call some application engineers from Kistler, Endevco , B&K just to name some usual suspects ...
