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 …

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 …

While the trend towards building resilience in infrastructure systems for disaster risk
reduction is accelerating, the application of infrastructure resilience is largely conceptual or …

The quest to answer the longstanding question of how safe is safe enough has led to an
evolution of design philosophies. The traditional philosophy has been based on ensuring …

This paper evaluates literature across multiple disciplines and stakeholder types to identify
commonalities and contradictions in definitions for community resilience. It aims to support …

After a brief overview of how the dimensionless resilience index has been calculated in the
past for buildings, and some of the shortcomings of that approach, the use of a resilience …

Extreme events, with natural or manmade causes, such as floods, pandemics and wars,
have recently brought the need to provide shelter and field hospitals in a very fast and …

The study of progressive collapse and structural robustness has advanced significantly after
9/11 event. There is a growing interest in the phenomenon, as well as in the development of …

In this paper the structural robustness assessment of concrete frame buildings under blast
and under earthquake blast hazard chain scenarios is investigated. A deterministic …
