A review of progressive collapse research and regulations [PDF]
History has demonstrated that buildings designed to conventional design codes can lack the robustness necessary to withstand localised damage, partial or even complete collapse. This variable performance has led governmental organisations to seek ways of

Punching shear of RC slabs exposed to fire: assessment of load-bearing capacity based on European and American provisions. Part 1 – General code requirements [PDF]
Slab-column connection is one of the most critical points in reinforced concrete structures. Punching shear capacity of this connection must be properly determined in both the persistent design situation and the accidental design situation of fire ...

Cyclic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Slab-Column Connection Using Numerical Simulation
Nonlinear finite element (FE) simulation was employed to look into the behavior of flat slab-column connections exposed to lateral cyclic loading. The study focused on the effect of drop panel and concrete grade by taking into consideration the element ...

Ferritic stainless steels in structural applications [PDF]
Ferritic stainless steels are low cost, price-stable, corrosion-resistant materials. Although widely used in the automotive and domestic appliance sectors, structural applications are scarce owing to a dearth of performance data and design guidance.
