Design of Military Facilities in Accordance with UFC 4-023-3
Design of new U.S military buildings, three or more stories in height,
as well as major renovation projects on existing government structures of
this size, must include design to resist progressive collapse in accordance
with UFC 4-023-3. Many state and local governments as well as private
building owners also request design of their buildings per this criteria.
Developed by a joint committee of military and civilian engineers, this
publication covers the basic considerations and detailed procedures for
collapse-resistant design. The guide covers prescriptive methods
consisting of provision of ties throughout the structure as well as
analytical procedures that can be used to evaluate a structure’s
ability to resist progressive collapse in the event a major structural
element is compromised by a bomb, vehicle impact or other extreme
event.
Mr. Hamburger will present an overview of the applicability and application
of the various procedures described in the guide, with example buildings.
Attendees are requested to download the UFC 4-023-3 document from the
Whole Building Design Guide website at http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_cat.php?o=29&c=4 prior to the webinar.

Ronald Hamburger Bio
Ronald Hamburger is a past president of NCSEA, chair of its Code Advisory Committee
and present President of the Structural Engineering Certification Board. Following
the 2001 terrorist attacks and collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, Mr.
Hamburger was appointed to the joint FEMA/ASCE team that performed the initial
investigation of the collapse and later participated in the more detailed studies
performed by NIST. AISC presented him with the 2005 T.R. Higgins Award for his
work to develop simplified methods for progressive collapse analysis and he recently
chaired the NCSEA-sponsored joint ad hoc committee that developed the recent proposal
that was adopted by the IBC. He chaired the ASCE-7 General Requirements Subcommittee
responsible for adoption of similar requirements in ASCE 7 during the 2010 cycle and
presently serves as chair of the ASCE 7 main committee.
