This paper reviews the state-of-art in progressive collapse studies on framed building
structures. Such types of failure start with a local damage which extension increases, up to …

Abnormal events, that are unforeseeable low-probability and high-impact events, cause
local failure (s) to structures that can lead to the collapse of other members and, eventually …

New reliability computation framework is proposed based on polynomial chaos expansion
method and used to investigate the reliability of four typical configurations of reinforced …

This paper investigated experimentally the progressive collapse risk of three one-third scale
single story, two-bay steel frames under column-loss event. Progressive collapse was …

Over the past few decades, increasing awareness of the need for more resilient
infrastructure has led to a great increase in the amount of research being performed on the …

In this study, nine laboratory tests were conducted to estimate the performance of
earthquake-resistant structures, ie, reduced beam section (RBS) connection, under a …

The alternate load path method has so far dominated the field of progressive collapse of
structures; in order to assess the resilience of structural systems, the concept of the removal …

The present paper focuses on the acquisition of the seismic responses of the masonry
structures for evaluating the variations of the predominant frequency, dam** ratio, and …

The decision to design a frame structure to bridge over a column lost due to accidental
loading has obvious impacts on construction costs. Moreover, not all structures are potential …

This paper presents results of an investigation into the effect of span length on progressive
collapse behaviour of seismically designed steel moment resisting frames which face losing …
