Abstract: The paper investigates the design of continuous steel-concrete composite beams with compact cross section using the elastic analysis with limited redistribution. The permissible moment redistribution which satisfies the ...

Abstract: Masonry structures constitute an important part of the built environment and architectural heritage in seismic areas. A large number of these old structures showed inadequate performance and suffered substantial damage ...

Abstract: The research presented in this paper addresses the influence of nonstructural masonry infill on the resistance of multistory buildings to progressive collapse under sudden column loss scenarios. In particular, the structural ...
