Integrity of Bolted Angle Connections Subjected to Simulated Column Removal. [PDF]
Large-scale tests of steel gravity framing systems (SGFSs) have shown that the connections are critical to the system integrity, when a column suffers damage that compromises its ability to carry gravity loads. When supporting columns were removed, the SGFSs redistributed gravity loads through the development of an alternate load path in a sustained ...

Evaluation of Intermediate Reinforced Concrete Moment Frame Subjected to Truck Collision [PDF]
In this study, the progressive collapse of reinforced concrete structures due to vehicle collision to the columns of the ground floor was modeled and examined. For this purpose, a four-story reinforced concrete building with the intermediate moment frame

The Effect of Out of Plane Perpendicular Beams on the Ductility Demand of Steel Moment Framed Structures during Progressive Collapse [PDF]
Unexpected loading, induced by severe earthquake or blast, could cause local damage to a structure. In this case, the structure has the potential of progressive collapse phenomenon. Hence, further consideration is required to mitigate the consequences of

Seismic Progressive Collapse Evaluation in 3 Story Reinforced Concrete Buildings due to Inner Column Removal [PDF]
Progressive collapse in the structures is defined failure of the entire or major part of a structure that has initiated from the small part of the building, continued in the other structural elements and in this way, progressive collapse become larger ...

Robustness of Post-Tensioned Concrete Beam-Column Subassemblies under Various Column Removal Scenarios [PDF]
To fully recognize the load-resisting mechanisms of posttensioned concrete (PC) structures with realistic boundary conditions against disproportionate collapse, four beam-column sub-assemblies were extracted from a prototype building; and the side columns and joints are reproduced to reflect the actual boundary condition.
