Progressive collapse analysis of a typical RC high-rise tower
The world has recently witnessed tremendous increase in terrorist activities. This led to the requirement of blast resistant design of structures. The progressive collapse of structures, being the most severe consequence of blast generated waves, has ...

Performance Evaluation of Moment Connections of Moment Resisting Frames Against Progressive Collapse [PDF]
When a primary structural element fails due to sudden load such as explosion, the building undergoes progressive collapse. The method for design of moment connections during progressive collapse is different to seismic design of moment connections ...

This paper explains the nature of progressive collapse, with examples, and enlarges considerably on commentary C, supplement No. 4 of the 1975 National Building Code of Canada. Attendant philosophical problems related to code coverage and the design for progressive collapse are considered in discussions of risk, abnormal events that might initiate ...

Learning from the progressive collapse of buildings
As building structures in different parts of the world become increasingly exposed to extreme events, there has been a notable research and professional effort to ensure the design of more robust buildings which are insensitive to local failures.

ABSTRACT Progressive collapse, defined as the disproportionate failure of a structure triggered by local damage, has become a critical concern in the design of blast-resistant and high-risk facilities. Over the past three decades, major accidental and intentional events have highlighted the vulnerability of structural systems to localized failure and ...

Shock formation in the collapse of a vapor nano-bubble [PDF]
In this paper a diffuse-interface model featuring phase change, transition to supercritical conditions, thermal conduction, compressibility effects and shock wave propagation is exploited to deal with the dynamics of a cavitation bubble. At variance with

Progressive Collapse Resisting Mechanisms of Planar Prestressed Concrete Frame [PDF]
The paper presents the behavior of six tests of Planar Prestressed Concrete Frame under the loss of a middle column. The six tests consist of two non-prestressed reinforced concrete (RC) specimens and four prestressed concrete (PC) specimens with bonded ...
