Blast Protection of Buildings — Design Criteria and Loads
The events of September 11, 2001 had a profound impact on the building design community. Although the weapons employed that day were fully fueled commercial aircraft, the industry turned considerable attention to the most common tactic historically employed in terrorist attacks around the world: the improvised explosive device. While information for addressing this threat existed, it was largely confined to military and other government publications that were neither readily available nor directly applicable to facilities constructed by the private sector. Recognizing this, in 2002 SEI began the process of establishing a new Codes & Standards Committee on Blast Protection of Buildings. Chaired by Donald O. Dusenberry, P.E., M.ASCE, of Simpson, Gumpertz & Heger in Waltham, MA, the committee set out to develop a new ANSI-accredited Standard for the planning, design, construction, and assessment of new and existing buildings subject to the effects of accidental or intentional explosions.
