Low velocity vehicle impact against building structures: An outline of relevant codes

The actual trend of building codes is to include horizontal vehicle impacts as part of the accidental actions to consider in the design of a building structure. Most of these codes use an equivalent static load to represent the effects of the impact. In this paper we will review how this issue is co...
