ACI Committee 377 sponsored two sessions during the Fall 2014 ACI convention in Washington, DC to highlight the importance of structural integrity and resilience of reinforced concrete and precast/prestressed structures subjected to extreme loading conditions. The sessions sought papers on topics including improving the structural integrity of structures, minimum level of required integrity, integrity of precast/prestressed structures, performance-based structural integrity and resilience, infrastructure resilience, issues and new developments in modeling, and assessment of existing structures. Both experimental and analytical investigations were presented. The sessions presented 10 papers covering the design of reinforced concrete buildings against progressive collapse, evaluation of NYC code provisions, analysis and experimental testing of post-tensioned and precast/prestressed structures, methods to improve collapse resistance, and probabilistic analysis of collapse.
This special publication includes eight papers that were presented during the sessions. The papers are alphabetically ordered based on the last names of the first authors.
