Behavior of Varied Steel Frame Connection Types Subjected to Air Blast, Debris Impact, and/or Post-Blast Progressive Collapse Load Conditions
In response past terrorist events and to actions required by executive order, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Office of the Chief Architect (OCA), designed and executed a steel frame bomb blast and progressive collapse (PC) test program (2004–2007) ["the GSA Test Program"]; enhanced by its integration into the `Discrete Leto' Blast Effects Test Series conducted by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), to experimentally evaluate the behavior of varied beam-to-column connection types subjected to such severe loading events. The broad objective of the GSA Test Program was to develop appropriate PC design criteria for steel frame construction, including identification of desirable connection characteristics for blast and PC mitigation that result in reliable high-capacity performance.
