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 …

This paper reviews the state-of-art in progressive collapse studies on framed building
structures. Such types of failure start with a local damage which extension increases, up to …

This paper presents the experimental and numerical investigation on resistance of two-
storey steel sub-frames subjected to a middle column removal scenario. Two different types …

To investigate the disparity in collapse performance between multi-story composite frames
with equal or unequal spans, experimental tests were statically conducted on two 1/3 scaled …

Despite their low probability of occurrence, the consequences of abnormal loads may be
very important, both in economic terms and in terms of human lives. This has stimulated the …

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 …

A static push-down analysis is conducted experimentally using a 1/3 scale one-story bare
steel moment frame substructure in this study. The objectives of this test include:(1) …

Steel-concrete composite frame is one of the widely used structural systems. Earthquake
and progressive collapse due to accidental localized damage are the main hazards that …

In this study, static tests of six two-story three-span composite frames with concrete-filled
steel tubular (CFST) column under a penultimate column removal scenario were carried out …

Self-resilient composite frames exhibit robust resistance to progressive collapse and
excellent seismic performance. However, their behavior under fire conditions is …
