This paper presents a mixed element approach for analyzing steel frame structures
subjected to a localized explosion and followed by fire. Critical members that are subjected …

The lesson learned from the terrorist attacks on buildings is the need to assure structures'
ability to sustain local damage without total collapse. Some of the terrorist attacks take the …

Since the recent introduction of second-order analysis in codes, engineers begin to realize
the advantages of the second-order analysis in enhancing the safety and economy of the …

This paper presents the author's view on various methods used for the evaluation of the
behaviour of structures submitted to fire, namely experimental testing, tabulated data, simple …

Fire and explosion are often synergistic. A fire may occur after an explosion or a fire may
occur first and then an explosion occurs. The consequences of a combined fire and …

Design of public infrastructure against terrorism has become a rising concern with the
objective of reducing the level of damage to property and the loss of life. Some of the …

Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) is a material used in the fabrication of structural and non-structural
elements for the construction of commercial and residential buildings. CFS exhibits several …

Numerical simulation analysis for collapsing process and mechanism of steel frame
structures under the combined effects of fire and explosion is performed in this paper. First of …

The SPSWs has been enthusiastically applied in some of the tall buildings across the world
as a novel lateral load-bearing system and due to their proper stiffness, strength, ductility …
