RISEffects of Masonry Infill Wall on the Performance of RC Frames to Resist Progressive Collapse
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Masonry-infilled (MI) panels, which serve as partitions in buildings, are normally considered as architectural elements. Their weights are considered in progressive collapse analysis, but the resistance of the walls is ...
Research Advances in Design of Structures to Resist Progressive Collapse
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Given the catastrophic consequences following progressive collapse, designs to mitigate such events are of great interest to both the academic and engineering communities. This has led to the development of numerous design ...
Quantification of Slab Influences on the Dynamic Performance of RC Frames against Progressive Collapse
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerous studies have indicated that the practice of ignoring the contribution of reinforced concrete (RC) slab in resisting progressive collapse is overconservative; however, the extent of influence of a slab, especially ...
Analytical Evaluation of the Vulnerability of RC Frames for Progressive Collapse Caused by the Loss of a Corner Column
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the past decades, several guidelines have been developed for designs against progressive collapse based on a number of experimental and numerical studies that have been conducted. However, the majority of the previous ...
Dynamic Disproportionate Collapse in Flat-Slab Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Disproportionate collapse of structures can lead to catastrophic economic loss and casualties, and thus, it is of utmost concern to mitigate the risks of such events. Flat-slab structures are much more vulnerable to ...
Strengthening of Multibay Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs to Mitigate Progressive Collapse
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Unable to generate sufficient ductility and continuity, RC flat slab structures are vulnerable to progressive collapse, in which the relatively brittle failure mechanism attributable to punching shear failure may lead to ...
Strengthening and Retrofitting of RC Flat Slabs to Mitigate Progressive Collapse by Externally Bonded CFRP Laminates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous studies indicated that RC flat slabs, especially without drop panels, are of high vulnerability to progressive collapse because no beams could assist in redistributing the axial force previously carried by the ...
Strengthening and Retrofitting Precast Concrete Buildings to Mitigate Progressive Collapse Using Externally Bonded GFRP Strips
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compared to cast-in-situ RC buildings, precast concrete (PC) buildings may have lower redundancy and integrity depending on their construction methods and the types of beam-to-column connection. In this study, a series of ...
Strengthening and Retrofitting Precast Concrete Buildings to Mitigate Progressive Collapse Using Externally Bonded GFRP Strips
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Compared to cast-in-situ RC buildings, precast concrete (PC) buildings may have lower redundancy and integrity depending on their construction methods and the types of beam-to-column connection. In this study, a series of ...
Load-Carrying Mechanism to Resist Progressive Collapse of RC Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The slew of high profile engineering calamities in the past decade has demonstrated the disastrous consequence of progressive collapse. However, the low probability of such events actually occurring means it is uneconomical ...
