Continual events have reinforced the concern over potential threats to facilities from terrorist attack.

The Department of Defense, through the Security Engineering Working Group (SEWG), continues to update facility standards and develop criteria relating to Antiterrorism and Force Protection (AT/FP). In an effort to provide training covering new facility related design and construction criteria, the SEWG has partnered with ASCE and VSPE to provide this workshop directed at the engineering community. The workshop is designed to provide instruction for a varied audience of government personnel as well as government contractors engaged in DoD facility design and construction. It supports the transfer of AT/FP knowledge to the design and construction community.

The SEWG, made up of representatives from US Army Corp of Engineers; Naval Facilities Engineering Command; Air Force and other DoD agencies, have developed Uniform Facility Criteria (UFC) relating to AT/FP and Security Engineering that will be required for DoD construction projects when triggered. Recently developed criteria include updates to the AT/FP minimum construction standards, design requirements for blast resistant windows and doors and new design requirements for preventing progressive collapse.

The Workshop will be divided into 3 sessions. Session 1 is intended for a multi-discipline audience and ill provide information on updates and a general overview of the minimum antiterrorism standards. Session 2 s intended for engineers or others interested in the design of windows and doors to resist blast loads. Session 3 is intended for engineers or others interested in the NEW DoD (Army, Navy, Air Force) requirements for design to prevent progressive collapse.

Session 1  - DOD MINIMUM ANTITERRORISM STANDARDS FOR BUILDINGS (UFC 4-010-01) 
In Session 1, the content and the application of the DoD Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings will be reviewed. Some other topics to be presented include:

• Site Considerations

• Mechanical/HVAC Force Protection Issues

• Architectural and Structural Force Protection Issues

• Electrical/Physical Security Equipment Issues

Session 2 - SECURITY ENGINEERING: DESIGN OF BLAST RESISTANT WINDOWS AND DOORS (UFC 4-012-07) 
In Session 2, the content and application of the DoD criteria covering Security Engineering: Design of Blast Resistant Windows and Doors will be reviewed. Design analysis software for designing windows and doors will be discussed.

• Glazing Hazard Assessment and Protection Levels

• Glazing Products

• Glazing Retrofits

• Window Specifications and Testing

• Analysis Methods and Tools (HAZL WINDAS)

• Range/Effects Charts and Curves

• Doors and Door Retrofits

• Door Specifications and Testing

Session 3 - SECURITY ENGINEERING: DESIGN OF BUILDINGS TO RESIST PROGRESSIVE COLLAPSE (UFC 4-012-06) 
In Session 3, the content and application of the DoD criteria covering the Security Engineering: Design of Buildings to Resist Progressive Collapse will be reviewed. The background and history of progressive collapse requirements will be presented along with the considerations and requirements that make up the new DoD progressive collapse requirements. Example problems showing the practical application of the criteria will be presented.

• History of Progressive Collapse

• Risk Based Application

• Material Specific Requirements

• New and Existing Structures

• Tie Force Requirements

• Alternate Load Path (APM)

• Specific Local Resistance

• Example Problems
