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 …

Progressive or disproportionate collapse of structures may have severe socio-economic
consequences. Aiming at buildings that can withstand such events, one solution is to …

Given the catastrophic consequences following progressive collapse, designs to mitigate
such events are of great interest to both the academic and engineering communities. This …

The beam-to-column connections of moment-resisting steel frames should exhibit capacities
that allow them to transfer the forces that develop under normally expected loading …

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) …

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 …

This paper comprehensively discussed the performance of practical beam-to-SHS column
connections against progressive collapse. Three full scale tests were performed on double …

Multistory steel frames are expected to provide resistance to progressive collapse following
local damage or failure caused by extreme loading events. Features like ductility and …

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 …

Thread failure of bolt and nut assemblies subjected to tension is generally undesired
because it is a less ductile failure mode than fracture of the threaded shank of the bolt …
