Abstract
This presentation will discuss the work to date of the Task Committees on Structural Systems, Protected Spaces and Exterior Envelopes. This portion of the Standard will address the features of structural analysis and design that may be used to improve the performance of structures in response to blast loading. It will also include the design of the exterior envelope, which is typically the weakest part of a building as well as the costliest to construct because of its large area.
