Course Description: AEC Daily: The Role of Commercial Steel Doors in Resilient Design
ONGOING - FREE - 1 HR
Resiliency is a growing necessity. It is important to understand the impacts on the built environment resulting from natural and manmade disasters and disturbances and to design for those impacts now. Presented in this course is an overview of the benefits of using steel doors as part of a resilient design strategy for applications requiring resistance to blasts, tornadoes, and ballistics.
ONGOING - FREE - 1 HR
Learning Objectives:
Define the principles and strategies of resilient design that help the built environment to better respond to disasters and disturbances.
Contrast the performance (including strength, durability, and thermal resistance) of alternative materials versus steel doors that enable buildings and communities to survive in the face of severe weather events and conflict.
State the green features of steel and explain why it is suited for resilient design applications, ensuring that buildings will maintain reasonable functionality in the event of an extended power outage or loss of heating fuel.
Explain how steel doors can be utilized in a resilient design strategy for applications requiring resistance to blasts, tornadoes, or bullets.
Discuss the standards and tests related to the various types of specialty steel doors.
