Many hazardous loads—such as wind pressures, blast impulses, and projectile impacts—originate at the facade system and are transferred via connections to the main structural system and, ultimately, to the foundation; resilient design for such extreme loads requires controlling damage along this load path. This research proposes a multi-hazard facade system (MHFS) design methodology capable of achieving multiple performance objectives for all credible hazards while focusing damage to easily replaceable connectors, thereby reducing operational downtime and repair costs following an extreme event. This methodology is supported by fundamental mechanics and dynamics, nonlinear static and transient analyses at the component, system, and building levels, and quasi-static experimental testing of multi-hazard ductile connectors (MDCs). A probabilistic framework for critical blast scenario parameters is also proposed to promote performance-based blast design for critical infrastructure. Facade-frame interaction during blast scenario analyses suggest adequate performance of typical building frames with MHFS, while seismic analyses suggest interaction that is not necessarily detrimental to performance but should likely be considered during lateral force resisting system (LFRS) design. Analysis of perimeter frame column loss scenarios (which may result from a deliberate explosive attack) indicate the MHFS is capable of substantially supplementing the frame’s capacity to redistribute demands to prevent progressive collapse, and the design may be altered to achieve a target floor load. The proposed MHFS is believed to be a practical and effective approach for improving building performance considering extreme events for both new design and retrofit of existing buildings. 2019-08-28 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1560187143941942 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1560187143941942 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
