Progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete in buildings L-shaped plan [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018 One of the most important issues discussed structural passive defense is progressive collapse. Progressive collapse occurs the sudden destruction caused by the deliberate structural member by accidents or disasters, such as earthquakes and terrorist ...

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

Active Control of Contact Force for a Pantograph-Catenary System
Shock and Vibration, 2016 The performance of the high speed trains depends critically on the quality of the contact in the pantograph-catenary interaction. Maintaining a constant contact force needs taking special measures and one of the methods is to utilize active control to ...

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
