National Strategic Assets—Design and Construction Challenges
Conventional building codes address a wide range of facilities that have various performance requirements, hence, facilities are assigned risk categories (RC) ranging from RC I to RC IV. However, there are certain groups of facilities that are required to go above and beyond RC IV, consequently, United Facilities Criteria 3-301-01 introduces an additional risk category designated as RC V. Such facilities are classified as national strategic military sssets that don’t tolerate business interruption. This article discusses the design provisions for Risk Category V structures, and the certification process for the mission critical non-structural components. Also, the construction and design challenges are highlighted.
