Design for Progressive Collapse Resistance Using UFC 4-023-03
Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-023-03, revised in July 2009 states
the acceptable methods of design of Department of Defense facilities for
progressive collapse resistance. The standard presents alternative methods
depending on the individual building’s occupancy. This revision of the
document was developed as a consensus-based approach in coordination with
GSA and other government agencies and is used for most federal construction
today.
The Webinar will review the procedures, from determination of a building’s
risk category through selection of a design method and application of each
of the methods.

of the World Trade Center buildings, Mr. Hamburger was appointed to the joint FEMA/ASCE team that
performed the initial investigation of the collapse and later participated in the more detailed
studies performed by NIST. AISC presented him with the 2005 T.R. Higgins Award for his work to
develop simplified methods for progressive collapse analysis and he recently chaired the
