(2) Box-Wall Buildings. Box-wall buildings often have reinforced concrete walls (Figure
C-8), which are difficult to breach because of reinforcing bars. Therefore, the best way to
enter is to blow down the door or to blow in one of the side windows. The floor plans of
these buildings are predictable; clearing rooms is usually done from one main hallway.
Interior walls are also constructed of reinforced concrete and are difficult to breach. The
stairways at the ends of the building must also be secured during clearing.
