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 …

The work presented in this study aimed to investigate the influence of infill walls on the
progressive collapse performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames. An experimental …

Despite the increasing interest in progressive collapse-resistant design and analysis of
reinforced concrete buildings that was triggered by accidental and man-made extreme …

Column removal failure is a common failure type of reinforced concrete (RC) structures
subjected to progressive collapse. Thus, it is widely adopted to use the experimental …

Structural safety for extreme loads that may cause local damage to single primary
components or even the progressive collapse of the structure has been probabilistically …

Multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) frames are one of the most widely-used structural
systems in engineering practice. To prevent the progressive collapse of RC frames under …

The progressive collapse of structures often causes serious casualties and property loss.
The intrinsic characteristic of progressive collapse is large-scale domino-like structural …

The definition of performance limit states for progressive collapse design and assessment of
civil structures is an open issue and deserves special attention in view of future building …

Risk analyses addressing consequences of progressive collapse have shown that, due to
the small probabilities of element loss due to abnormal loads, structural strengthening for …
