Continuing Education: 1.5 hours available
This webinar will touch on a variety of blast design topics that are relevant to design and analysis of CFS wall and roof components, connections and systems. Tentatively, the presentation will provide a brief discussion of the following topics:
- Introduction
- Presentation overview
- Brief discussion of relevant blast design criteria for typical projects (GSA, VA, DoD)
- General background on blast loading and application to structures
- Analysis of CFS members for blast
- Idealizing components for SDOF analysis
- Choosing appropriate boundary conditions
- Concentrated loads and loads near supports
- Equivalent uniform loading
- Analysis of CFS walls for blast loading
- Assumptions for typical construction types (infill vs. bypass)
- Consideration of parapets
- Analysis of CFS trusses for blast loading
- Static analysis method
- Simplified dynamic analysis method
- High-fidelity non-linear dynamic analysis
- Connection design considerations
- Additional comments and conclusions
- Questions and discussion

Presenter: Cliff Jones
Cliff Jones is the Structures Lead at Protection Engineering Consultants (PEC) with over ten (10) years of experience in design of structures for extreme loading. He is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E) in Texas and licensed Structural Engineer (S.E.) in Illinois. He leads and supports a range of projects related to design and retrofit of structures for blast, shock, impact, fire, seismic and extreme weather events (ex: tornado, tsunami, storm surge and hurricane). He also has extensive experience in structures related research and design of novel structural materials, components and energy absorbing systems.
