METHOD FOR ANALYZING THE PROBABILITY OF STABILITY FAILURE OF A RC FRAME IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION
International Journal for Computational Civil and Structural EngineeringDespite the general principles on reliability for structures have been stated in the international standard ISO 2394, the implementation of these principles in the design and construction practice faces with difficulties.

Effects of macroalgae loss in an Antarctic marine food web: applying extinction thresholds to food web studies [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Antarctica is seriously affected by climate change, particularly at the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) where a rapid regional warming is observed. Potter Cove is a WAP fjord at Shetland Islands that constitutes a biodiversity hotspot where over the ...

Progressive Collapse and Robustness Analysis of Multi-Story Reinforced Concrete Structures
Engineering ProceedingsProgressive collapse is a critical structural phenomenon where local damage triggers a chain reaction and potentially leads to disproportionate failure of the entire system.

Plastic disproportionate collapse at lost corner columns [PDF]
Magazine of Concrete Research, 2009 This paper deploys an existing method for the simple rigid-plastic hand calculation of slab yield-line mechanisms to address the wider problem of disproportionate collapse at lost columns in multi-storey buildings. Floor systems will be treated as grillages combining torsion-free (Hillerborg) slabs and torsion-free beams.

Effects of changing permafrost and snow conditions on tundra wildlife: critical places and times
Arctic Science, 2017 The change of water phase around 0 °C has considerable impacts on wildlife ecology because liquid and solid water strongly differ in their insulating capability, mechanical resistance, and light reflectance.

Dynamic Response of Bowstring-arch Highway Bridge Subjected to Above and Below Deck Close-range Large Explosion [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesExplosion incidents that are unforeseen can lead to the occurrence of extreme loads, resulting in the generation of remarkably high stress levels within the materials comprising various structures.
