Structures for Enhanced Safety and Physical Security : Proceeding of the Specialty Conference Sponsored by the Structural Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers

Proceedings of a specialty conference on enhanced safety and physical security of structures, held in Arlington, Virginia, March 8-10, 1989.

Sponsored by the Structural Division of ASCE. This collection contains 36 papers describing the state-of-the-art in structures for enhanced safety and physical security.

Topics include: Threat Environments and Facility Planning, which is devoted to problem definition and to describing approaches for planning safe and secure structures; Structural Testing and Response, which addresses the observed behavior of various types of structures, structural elements, or test models under the effects of specific threats; Analysis and Design methods, which discusses approaches that have been employed for the analysis and/or the design of structures subjected to the severe loads; and Case Histories and Industrial Safety, which provides detailed information on specific real cases for illustrating the severe problems under consideration and additional discussions on industrial safety.
