Blast Design Uses 2012 UFC.

Blast design uses UFC 2012.

JEI Structural Engineering is committed to helping you navigate through codes and regulations.   So bring us in early for best results.

1)      Must design for 2 times the glazing resistance now.   Previous 2007 UFC 4-010-01 requirements allowed for frame design for the static 3 sec load and the connections for 2 x the 3 sec load.

2)      Most Manufactures systems have been tested to previous 2007 UFC stand-off distances.   The 2012 UFC allows for stand-off distances much less which can create very large blast loads that systems have not been tested for – so check this out before selecting the systems as engineering, fabrication and installation cost may be greatly affected.
