This course will focus on the concepts of blast resistant design as they relate to building envelope systems. The differences between ballistic, blast, and impact resistant designs will be discussed along with lessons learned from previous blast event. Opaque and transparent wall and roofing systems will be discussed within the context of blast resistance mitigation.
Mark will present tools and resources for integrated facade design and analysis from the Building Technology Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL). Their latest research includes testing and simulation of complex fenestration materials and assemblies.
Electronic leak detection for roofs in almost any form, whether it is manually practiced or computer controlled, is based on the following principles:
