Extreme events (ie terrorist attacks, vehicle impacts, explosions, etc.) often cause local
damage to building structures and pose a serious threat when one or more vertical load …

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 …

This paper presents a practical yet comprehensive implementation of the ensemble methods
for prediction of the shear strength for reinforced concrete deep beams with/without web …

This study explores the progressive collapse resistance of composite substructures with the
fully-welded connection (FC) and fully-welded connection with rectangular web openings …

Compressive arch action (CAA) is one of the important resistance mechanisms against
progressive collapse in reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings at small deformations. In …

In this paper, three one-third scale reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column-slab structure
specimen tests were conducted to investigate the collapse mechanisms under a loss of the …

To study the load redistribution capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) flat slab structures
subjected to a middle column loss scenario, high fidelity finite element (FE) models were …

When a reinforced concrete (RC) frame subjected to an edge-column-removal scenario, its
floor system exhibits a complicated mechanism against progressive collapse due to the …

The topic of robustness and progressive collapse of structures has attracted significant
attention within the field of structural engineering recently. This is reflected by the rise in the …

This study develops a 2D computational parametric analysis of ordinary reinforced concrete
(RC) frames, located in seismic zone, with the aim to evaluate some design suggestions with …
