The standard includes principles for establishing appropriate threat parameters, levels of protection, loadings, analysis methodologies, materials, detailing, and test procedures. It provides a comprehensive presentation of current practice in the analysis and design of structures for blast resistance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe need for this standard had been identified in advance of the events of September 11, 2001. Key individuals of the original nucleus of the committee and the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) discussed development of this standard as the events of that day began to unfold. This first revision of the standard substantially updates requirements for materials detailing. Requirements related to lightweight concrete have been relaxed, but new requirements for welding structural steel are added. Sections are added for composite construction, both for concrete-and-steel composite and for fiber-reinforced polymer composite members. Methods to analyze glazing performance are updated, and a simplified approach to assess fragmentation is added to the provisions, with the more elaborate approach retained in the commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard ASCE\/SEI 59-22 provides essential guidance for building owners and developers in the private and public sectors, and their design consultants including structural engineers, architects, and security experts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58077815275894,"sku":"9780784415719","price":155.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_34584262.jpg?v=1781284497","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780784415719-blast-protection-of-buildings","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
