Catenary action in steel-framed buildings

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2007
The current paper is of relevance to engineers engaged in the design of buildings in which severe column damage resulting from malicious actions is a design scenario. The tying force method as used for providing robustness to steel-framed buildings relies upon catenary action to redistribute loads following column damage.

Catenary Action during Collapse of Steel MRF Buildings

Structures Congress 2006, 2006
Detailed finite element simulations are used to investigate the large deformation behavior of seismically designed beam-column subassemblies. The numerical model employs a micromechanical fracture model for steel that is calibrated to existing test results.

Catenary action in steel framed buildings with buckling restrained braces

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2015
Abstract Progressive collapse is disproportionate failure of the structure due to the failure of a relatively small part of it. Catenary action is a load mechanism that is developed to resist the additional loads as a result of sudden column loss and prevent disproportionate collapse.

Finite element analysis assessing partial catenary action in steel beams

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2015
Abstract One potential means for designing steel structures for progressive collapse resistance is to include considerations of catenary action in order to efficiently and economically allow beams to be designed to resist increased levels of load relative to what is currently considered in practice. However, the current inventory of typical girder-to-

Analytical investigation on catenary action in axially-restrained reinforced concrete beams

Engineering Structures, 2019
Abstract Catenary action featuring axial tension forces plays a critical role in resisting the applied load when reinforced concrete beams with adequate axial restraints experience large deformations. It can be used as the last line of defence under some extreme scenarios.

Component-based Model of Bolted-Angle Connections Subjected to Catenary Action

Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Advances in Steel Concrete Composite and Hybrid Structures, 2012
Traditional design of connections is limited to moment-rotation characteristics and the information about the deformation capacities of connection components is quite limited. Thus, it is necessary to develop a new mechanical model, which could predict the deformation capacity of each connection component and the development of catenary action. In this

Considering Catenary Action in Designing End-Restrained Steel Beams in Fire

Advances in Structural Engineering, 2005
When a building compartment is subjected to fire attack, there are complex interactions between the fire affected members with the surrounding members. The behaviour of the steel frame members in fire can be drastically different from that of its member in isolation. This paper studies the behaviour of steel beams with the increase of temperature from

Finite element modelling of reinforced concrete framed structures including catenary action

Computers & Structures, 2010
In this paper, a 1D discrete element is formulated for analysis of reinforced concrete frames with catenary action. A force-based formulation is developed based on the total secant stiffness approach and an associated direct iterative solution scheme is derived.

Evaluation of progressive collapse potential of steel moment frames considering catenary action

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, 2008
AbstractThis study investigated the effect of catenary action on the progressive collapse potential of steel moment framed structures. Non‐linear static and dynamic analyses of three‐ and six‐story model structures with and without bracing were carried out following the alternate path method recommended by the General Services Administration 2003 ...

Progressive collapse resistance of exterior reinforced concrete frames and simplified method for catenary action

Engineering Structures, 2021
Abstract This paper investigated the progressive collapse resistance of exterior reinforced concrete frames under middle column removal scenarios. Five half-scale exterior frames comprising of a double-span beam, a middle beam-column joint and two side columns were tested under a concentrated point load on the middle joint.
