moment resisting frames, detail connections to provide continuity across joints equal to
the full structural capacity of connected members, and detail members to accommodate
large displacements without complete loss of strength. This recommendation is
consistent with paragraph B-2.1 (Standard 7) for preventing progressive collapse, but
recommends selection of certain structural systems and greater attention to structural
details.
C-2.2
Recommendation 12. Internal Circulation. Design circulation within
buildings to provide visual detection and monitoring of unauthorized personnel
approaching controlled areas or occupied spaces.
C-2.3
Recommendation 13. Visitor Control. Controlling visitor access
maximizes the possibility of detecting potential threatening activities. Keep locations in
buildings where visitor access is controlled away from sensitive or critical areas, areas
where high-risk or mission-critical personnel are located, or other areas with large
population densities of DoD personnel.
C-2.4
Recommendation 14. Asset Location. To minimize exposure to direct
blast effects and potential impacts from hazardous glass fragments and other potential
debris, locate critical assets and mission-critical or high-risk personnel away from the
building exterior.
C-2.5
Recommendation 15. Room Layout. In rooms adjacent to the exterior
of the building, position personnel and critical equipment to minimize exposure to direct
blast effects and potential impacts from hazardous glass fragments and other potential
debris.
C-2.6
Recommendation 16. External Hallways. Since doors can become
hazardous debris during explosive blast events, doors designed to resist blast effects
are expensive, and external hallways have large numbers of doors leading into
inhabited areas, avoid exterior hallway configurations for inhabited structures.
C-2.7
Recommendation 17. Windows. To minimize the potential for glazing
hazards, minimize the size and number of windows for new construction.
