Vulnerability Analysis of Catenary-Bridge-Track System
Shock and Vibration, 2023 Continuous welded rails on bridges are extensively employed in high-speed railways, where trains are predominantly electrically powered, and the open-air catenary represents the weakest link in the system.

Numerical investigation of the behaviour of bolted and welded top and seat angle connection in progressive collapse of steel structures [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 After failure of a column in structure by an abnormal loading, undesirable performance and damage of connections of the beams connected to the top of this column, can lead to the local failure of floor and in turn result in progressive collapse in the ...

Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Beam–Slab Substructures Made with Rubberized Concrete
Buildings, 2022 Abnormal loads can produce localized damage that can eventually cause progressive collapse of the whole reinforced concrete (RC) structure. This might have devastating financial repercussions and cause numerous severe casualties.

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of CLT Floor Subassemblies Under Catenary Action
World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2023), 2023 Behaviour under combined axial tension and out-of-plane bending, typically observed in catenary action after loss of a support, was investigated on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) floors. Uni-axial tension tests as well as combined tension and bending tests on CLT component and floor subassembly levels with screw butt joints and varying boundary ...

Experimental study and numerical analysis of progressive collapse resistance of composite frames [PDF]
, 2013 A partial damage caused by an abnormal load could trigger progressive collapse of high rise buildings which may lead to terrible casualties. However, in the process of column failure, "catenary action" plays an important role in redistributing the ...
