Abstract: In current practice, progressive collapse analysis typically includes two types of hazards: the initial hazard that causes localized damage and the subsequent response of the structure to bridge loads across the damaged ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a decision-based framework to quantitatively define an indicator of structural resilience, as it pertains to mitigating blast-induced damage. The proposed procedure starts with the characterization of ...
