Abstract:
Indstrialization of building affects each member of the building industry differently - consquently there is little agreement within the industry as to its exact nature. . .Introducing the performance concept increases the scope for innovation, but raises major difficulties of interpretation, demanding new skills within the industry.

This account of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) role in industrialized concrete construction is prefaced with a summary of the European experience, begun early in the 20th Century. . .The emphasis of the paper is on multifamily, highrise concrete construction; single-family residental construction is not addressed.

In order to identify and define abnormal forms of loading a classification system for all forms of structural loading on buildings is developed. Statistics relating to the incidence and consquence of the following forms of abnormal loading are then summarized: gas explosion, bomb explosion, vehicular collision. An attempt is then made to evaluate the structural signifance of each of these loadings with particular reference to multi-unit residental and mutli-story commerical, i.e., engineered, buildings.

This paper describes recent British tests concerned with catenary, or tensile membrane, actions, which may prevent local damage to a structure spreading to cause a progressive collapse. Reference is made to preliminry tests of structure, some of which indicated the considerable potentialities of such behaviour. More detailed tests studying the tensile strengths and ductilities of various components are described, as are experiments on floor strips with lost supports. Finally, possbile methods of predicting catenary resistance are discussed, although no general design guidance seems possible at this stage.
