Abstract: Using a macromodeling approach and alternate path method, dynamic and static analyses are performed to assess the progressive collapse resistance of a multistory reinforced concrete flat-plate building lacking structural ...

Abstract: A macromodel for slab-column connections is created for use in the system-level progressive collapse analyses of reinforced concrete flat-plate structures. The proposed model jointly uses shell and connector elements to ...

Abstract: This paper documents the findings from a dynamic collapse experiment carried out on a single-story two-by-two bay reinforced concrete flat-plate substructure. The test specimen had a 0.4 scale, represented older flat-plate ...
