In steel-framed structures, joints play an essential role in providing a frame response to
loading under persistence scenarios and especially in robustness analysis, which is very …

A progressive collapse of structures is usually triggered by extreme incidents, especially
explosions and impacts, resulting in a dynamic response that differs from the conventional …

Falling-debris impact on a remaining building is detrimental and may lead to propagation of
initial damage by abnormal loadings (gas, explosion, etc.), if the structure is not able to resist …

The load capacity and the rotational stiffness of the joints are the main parameters required
in the design of steel-framed structures in a persistent design situation. In an accidental …

This paper presents a new empirical-based model for nonlinear modelling of a steel beam
using the concentrated hinge approach for the progressive collapse assessment. The new …

Five simple beam-column joints with composite slabs were tested under a middle column
removal scenario. Fin plate connection was used in all the joints. The influences of joint type …

A shear tab connection is one of the most common simple beam-to-column connections that
is widely used in steel structures. In ASCE41-17 (Seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing …

Nowadays, the using of steel moment frames has been considered as an effective lateral
load-resisting system against seismic forces. In this research, the effect of plastic hinges …

In this paper, the system response, stress redistribution, failure mode, and catenary effect of
steel frames with circular tube columns and cast steel stiffener (CSS) joints under a sudden …

The beam-to-column connection has been identified as a key element for steel frame
structures to maintain the structural integrity during progressive collapse phenomenon. In …
