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 …

In the recent history the development of inter-module connection (IMC) systems for steel
modular building systems (MBSs) has gained traction with many researchers and engineers …

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

In view of the poor robustness of fully welded connections, energy dissipation cover-plates
(EDCs) were proposed in this study with the aim of improving their anti-progressive collapse …

In this paper, a new type of the strengthened strategy for the limited anti-collapse capacity of
extended end-plate connections (EECs) is proposed. Bending stiffened steel plates (BSSPs) …

Dynamic progressive collapse tests are becoming more and more popular in recent years
since this approach captures the real structural behavior more robustly, and progressive …

To improve the anti-progressive collapse performance of top-seat and web-angle
connections, a novel bending T-stub connection (BTC) is proposed, and its tensile …

With the use of ductile stainless steel bolts and hot-rolled sections/plates as critical
connection components, the progressive collapse resistance of bolted beam-to-column …

In this paper, three steel beam-column connections (welded flange-bolted web (WFB)
connection, welded flange plate (WFP) connection and reduced beam section (RBS) …

A highly efficient implementation of machine learning (ML) framework is developed for
assessing the dynamic increase factor (DIF) used in nonlinear static analysis (pushdown) …
