Progressive Collapse Analysis, Retrofit Design, and Costs for Existing Structures
With the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and the more recent terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C., attention has been focused on the ability of both new and existing structures to withstand significant structural assault while maintaining the degree of structural integrity sufficient to allow building occupants to safely exit. None of the major United States Building Codes (IBC, UBC, SBC, BOCA) or the structural design codes (American Institute of Steel Construction, American Concrete Institute, The Masonry Society, American Forest and Paper Association, etc) provide specific design requirements for evaluating or reducing the vulnerability of a structure to progressive collapse. However, government standards have been developed by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) and are currently used to provide progressive collapse considerations in the design and retrofit of their respective building inventories. The analysis procedures contained in these documents, as well as strengthening approaches and a range of progressive collapse retrofit costs for various building types will be addressed.
