A review of progressive collapse research and regulations [PDF]
, 2014 History has demonstrated that buildings designed to conventional design codes can lack the robustness necessary to withstand localised damage, partial or even complete collapse. This variable performance has led governmental organisations to seek ways of

MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR AND CATENARY ACTION OF RESTRAINED STEEL BEAM UNDER FIRE [PDF]
, 2021 To investigate the mechanical behavior and catenary action of restrained steel beam under fire, experiments were performed on five H-section restrained steel beams exposed to ISO-834 standard fire. At first, mechanical property tensile tests were performed on 3 room-temperature specimens and 8 high-temperature specimens, and variation laws of the ...

Energy efficiency and integration of urban electrical transport systems: EVS and metro-trains of two real European lines [PDF]
, 2019 Transport is a main source of pollutants in cities, where air quality is a major concern. New transport technologies, such as electric vehicles, and public transport modalities, such as urban railways, have arisen as solutions to this important problem ...

Numerical Simulation of Vortex-Induced Vibration of TTR and SCR
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Top tensioned risers (TTRs) and steel catenary risers (SCRs) have been widely used in the field of marine engineering. They are commonly used to transport fluids from subsea wells to surface platforms. Under the action of ocean currents, these risers are

APPLICATION OF A TUBE CONNECTOR FOR CATENARY ACTION IN CLT FLOORS
World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2023), 2023 Multi-storey buildings require provisions to avoid disproportionate consequences after unexpected events, e.g. explosions or human error during design and construction. To prevent failure progression in the structure after an initial damage (loss of load-carrying elements), alternative load paths, like catenary action, should be provided.

Effects of Floor System on Progressive Collapse Behavior of RC Frame Sub-Assemblages
Buildings, 2022 The ability to predict the resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures to progressive collapse as a result of an interior column removal has become a need in structural design.
