Progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has attracted much attention in
the past two decades due to the devastating effects associated with it. This paper presents …

Current methods and practices for modeling and numerical simulation of disproportionate
collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings are reviewed. Modeling advances at …

The primary goal of seismic provisions in building codes is to protect life safety through the
prevention of structural collapse. To evaluate the extent to which current and past building …

This study is the second of two companion papers to examine the seismic collapse safety of
reinforced concrete frame buildings, and examines nonductile moment frames that are …

The potential for progressive collapse of a typical reinforced concrete (RC) moment frame
structure initiated through the loss of one or more first-story columns is numerically simulated …

A proposed supplement to ASCE/SEI 41 Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings has
been developed for the purpose of updating provisions related to existing reinforced …

This paper proposes a new set of probabilistic joint shear strength models using the
conventional multiple linear regression method, and advanced machine‐learning methods …

In recent years, demands for mitigating structural damage and post-earthquake repair costs
have spurred considerable research on self-centering seismic force-resisting systems. This …

Abstract The uniaxial Giuffrè-Menegotto-Pinto (GMP) constitutive steel model is widely used
in nonlinear modeling of reinforced concrete components. However, the parameters …

The emerging field of performance-based earthquake engineering enables the evaluation of
seismic performance of building structures. In this study, performance-based earthquake …
