- Abstract
- This bibliography on the subjects of abnormal loading and progressive collapse is an annotated listing of articles that have appeared in the technical literature from 1948 through 1973. The entries have been arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within years. Both subject and author indexes have been included. The references listed have been selected as most representative of the historical background and best representing the origin and present state-of-the-art of current practice without undue repetition of data. References pertaining to characteristics, frequencies, incidents, tests, design procedures, and regulations for many types of abnormal loadings are included. Among these are various types of accidental impacts, construction loads, explosions, faulty practices, and extreme atmospheric loads. Heavy emphasis was placed on referencing applicable building codes and regulations pertaining to the subjects of progressive collapse and abnormal loadings.
