The world has seen a surge in rigorous study efforts on the progressive collapse of
structures in the past few decades. These events have led to new standards and provisions …

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 …

Owing to the outstanding sensing properties, especially high sensitivity and large
stretchability, flexible piezoresistive strain sensors are advantageous for achieving …

Beam-column joints using dry connections usually experience severe damage under large
deformations, causing precast concrete (PC) frames with dry connections to become highly …

The progressive collapse of structures often causes serious casualties and property loss.
The intrinsic characteristic of progressive collapse is large-scale domino-like structural …

In this paper, an accurate prediction model, which screened from 8 machine learning-based
models (LR, ANN, DT, SVC, RF, AdaBoost, GBDT, XGBoost), is established for identifying …

Multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) frames are one of the most widely-used structural
systems in engineering practice. To prevent the progressive collapse of RC frames under …

One static and four dynamic collapse experiments have been conducted on beam-column
assemblies under a middle-column removal scenario to investigate the dynamic collapse …

Through quasi-static loading regimes, notable research efforts have been made in recent
years towards understanding the structural behaviour and resistance mechanism of …

The frequent occurrence of building collapse accidents not only causes significant
casualties, but also jeopardizes local economies. This paper adopts a combinatory …
