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 …

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 …

In recent years, the occurrence of a series of extreme events has raised awareness of what
progressive collapse of mainstream reinforced concrete frame structures can cause in terms …

New reliability computation framework is proposed based on polynomial chaos expansion
method and used to investigate the reliability of four typical configurations of reinforced …

Several natural and man-made disasters have highlighted that precast reinforced concrete
(RC) buildings often have insufficient levels of structural robustness, which is the last line of …

Most of the existing buildings in seismic prone regions have been built before the
publication of modern design provisions against earthquakes, resulting in the need for …

Although many analytical and experimental studies have been carried out to date on the
progressive collapse and robustness of cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) and steel …

Over the past few decades, increasing awareness of the need for more resilient
infrastructure has led to a great increase in the amount of research being performed on the …

Since progressive collapse usually has serious consequences, the problem of progressive
collapse resistance has gradually become a topical issue in recent years. However, most of …

The effect of infill walls on the progressive collapse behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC)
frames should be fully considered due to the formation of alternative load paths. To explore …
