Progressive Collapse simulation in RC Structures
2008Throughout recent history, famous records of building failures may be found, unfortunately accompanied by great human loss and major economic consequences. One of the mechanisms of failure is referred to as ‘progressive collapse’: one or several structural members suddenly fail, whatever the cause (accident or attack).

Collapse of the United Progressive Alliance
2022Abstract The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government that came to power in 2004 functioned well under UPA-1 (2004–9) but faced numerous challenges under UPA-2 (2009–14). This chapter seeks to understand how and why a government, which had been sufficiently popular during its first term to be re-elected in 2009 with a ...

Progressive Analysis Procedure for Progressive Collapse
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2004Following the collapse of the World Trade Center towers in September 2001, there has been heightened interest among building owners and government entities in evaluating the progressive collapse potential of existing buildings and in designing new buildings to resist this type of collapse.

Approximations in Progressive Collapse Modeling
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2011Assumptions must necessarily be made when the collapse response of structures is investigated using simulation models. The type and extent of modeling assumptions depend on the computational resources available, modeling expertise, and results sought.

Reliability and progressive collapse of structures
IABSE Reports, 2007<p>The number of incidents of progressive collapse of structures has increased over the last decade. Design faults are becoming more frequent and the simple collapse of a structure during construction or in exploitation has become commonplace during the lifetime of a structure.

Bridge Progressive Collapse Vulnerability
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1997For important structures, it is increasingly required that catastrophic failure of the entire structure be prevented. Failure of an element due to an accidental event must not result in progressive collapse of other elements or of the whole structure. Studies to comply with this requirement for a bridge of numerous spans are presented. Dynamic analyses

Methodologies for Progressive Collapse Analysis
Structures Congress 2009, 2009Existing building codes contain some guidance on progressive collapse analysis and design. Unfortunately, in most of the U.S. building codes and standards that contain progressive collapse provisions, the available guidance is either vague, or does not define, the key issues that must be addressed.

Formulations for probability of progressive collapse
Structural Safety, 1988Abstract Practical and tractable formulations for determining the probability of progressive collapse in structures are developed. Both the case where abnormal loads are specified and the case where initiating damage levels are specified are considered. Methods for including event control measures in the formulations are also obtained.
