Dynamic Disproportionate Collapse in Flat-Slab Structures
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2015 AbstractDisproportionate collapse of structures can lead to catastrophic economic loss and casualties, and thus, it is of utmost concern to mitigate the risks of such events. Flat-slab structures are much more vulnerable to disproportionate collapse than moment-frame structures as there are no beams to redistribute the loads initially resisted by the ...
