An Interesting Case of a Residential Building Affected by an Accidental Load
Abstract Modern building codes call for the design of structures that can withstand collapse due to various causes such as a gas explosion, a truck collision or a terrorist attack. This is an example of the behavior of a building actually damaged by a truck. The building was designed only for vertical loads but with a minimum of continuous reinforcements that proves his beneficial effects in case of accidental events.
