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 …

The instability of structural members under axial compression most likely causes spatial
structural collapse. Therefore, the configuration of double-layer members (DLMs) is …

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 …

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) …

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns may be exposed to blast loading. Assessment and
prediction of the damage condition and failure mode of RC columns are necessary for …

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

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 …

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 …

Progressive collapse can be defined as a cascading phenomenon in which an initial failure
is followed by the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, is followed by further …

Bio-inspired solutions are widely adopted in different engineering disciplines. However, in
structural engineering, these solutions are mainly limited to bio-inspired forms, shapes, and …
