Abstract: The application of extreme loads, such as impact and blast, may lead to progressive collapse and the robustness of a structure must be considered in this context. Although extensive studies have been carried out in recent ...

Abstract: In this paper, three precast concrete (PC) frames and one cast-in-situ reinforced-concrete (RC) frame were cast and tested to investigate the load-resisting mechanisms of emulative PC frames with various reinforcing details ...

Abstract: In this paper, four 1/2 scaled precast concrete (PC) beam-column subassemblages with high-performance connection were tested under push-down loading procedure to study the load-resisting mechanism of PC frames subjected ...
