Several structural collapse incidents indicate that failure usually starts from beam-column
joints exposed to abnormal loads, especially for steel and composite structures. If the …

The performance of building structures under abnormal loading conditions, such as blast
and impact, is of interest to researchers and engineers because of the possibility of …

This report presents a computational assessment of the performance of steel gravity framing
systems with single-plate shear (“shear tab”) connections and composite floor slabs under …

This paper presents a computational assessment of the performance of steel gravity framing
systems with single-plate shear connections and composite floor slabs under column loss …

An understanding of the behavior of shear connections in steel gravity frames under the
unique combinations of moment, shear, and axial force relevant to extreme loading …

This paper presents a computational assessment of the behavior of single-plate shear
(shear tab) connections in gravity frames under column-loss scenarios. Two-span beam …

Methods for the assessment of structural designs or existing structural systems for
susceptibility to disproportionate (progressive) collapse and prescriptive methods intended …

The behavior of a conventional steel single-plate (shear tab) connection is highly dependent
on the type of loading to which it is subjected. Although these connections have been …

Progressive collapse is a complex process in which failure of a single component leads to
collapse of a disproportionately large part of the structural system. Recent building and …

The performance of structures under the effects of extreme loads can be a critical
consideration in their design. The potential for disproportionate collapse following localized …
