Progressive collapse analysis of a typical RC high-rise tower
Journal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2017 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]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017 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 ...

Shock formation in the collapse of a vapor nano-bubble [PDF]
, 2014 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

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]
, 2020 Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1975 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 ...

Collapse simulation of a typical super-tall RC frame-core tube building exposed to extreme fire [PDF]
, 2015 The previous fire accidents proofed that reinforced concrete (RC) structures may experience progressive collapse subjected to extreme fires. In consequence, the study on the extreme fire-induced progressive collapse of RC structures is important for the ...

Experimental study and numerical analysis of progressive collapse resistance of composite frames [PDF]
, 2013 A partial damage caused by an abnormal load could trigger progressive collapse of high rise buildings which may lead to terrible casualties. However, in the process of column failure, "catenary action" plays an important role in redistributing the ...

Overall buckling of lightweight stiffened panels using an adapted orthotropic plate method
, 2015 The ultimate longitudinal bending strength of thin plated steel structures such as box girder bridges and ship hulls can be determined using an incremental–iterative procedure known as the Smith progressive collapse method.

Vulnerability Assessment of Building Frames Subjected to Progressive Collapse Caused by Earthquake [PDF]
, 2017 Progressive collapse is an initial local failure of the structural component and leading to the additional collapse of the building frames. This study investigated the vulnerability of four- and six-storey moment resisting concrete frame (MRCF ...
