Content Description

Structure for Architects: Preventing Partial or Progressive Building Collapse, 2024
CEU: 0.05 | CEU Code: AD-EN-168602-0824

AEC Daily ASCE 7-16, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, provides several design alternatives that architects and engineers can use to reduce the potential for either partial or progressive collapse due to extraordinary events, whether natural or man-made. The minimum design load philosophy of the building code is at odds with some extraordinary events. ASCE 7, Section 2.5, 'Load Combinations for Extraordinary Events," which is incorporated into the IBC, covers such extraordinary events, stating: 'Where required by the owner or applicable code, strength and stability shall be checked to ensure that structures are capable of withstanding the effects of extraordinary (i.e., low-probability) events, such as fires, explosions, and vehicular impact without disproportionate collapse." There are several methods for achieving added safety in both expected and extraordinary events. These include performance-based design (for expected events) and methods for design against partial or progressive collapse (for extraordinary events). In this briefing, we'll explore methods for design against partial or progressive collapse as found in ASCE 7, Section 1.4.6, 'Extraordinary Loads and Events." 30 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Determine load paths and implement the alternate load path method as per ASCE 7, Section 2.5, 'Load Combinations for Extraordinary Events."

Faculty BIO

Mr. McGavin has over 40 years of experience in the design of public and institutional facilities including educational, transportation, healthcare, pipeline, nuclear, and military facilities. He has served for fifteen years on the California Seismic Safety Commission. He taught architectural structures at Cal Poly, Pomona, from 1998 to 2018. Mr. McGavin was the Architect of Record for the Landers Elementary School, which was situated less than 0.4 mi from approximately 12 feet of horizontal offset in the 1992 Landers earthquake. He is a member of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) and the AIA. His publications include Earthquake Protection of Essential Building Equipment, and he is a co-author of Earthquake Protection of Building Equipment and Systems: Bridging the Implementation Gap and FEMA 454, Designing for Earthquakes: A Manual for Architects.
