Comparative Study between Horizontal–Vertical Mixed and Vertical Progressive Collapse Responses of Reinforced Concrete Planar Frames

Abstract

AbstractInadequate lateral restraint of side columns in RC frames can lead to lateral deformation of the side columns during progressive collapse, causing RC frames to transition from vertical progressive collapse to horizontal and vertical mixed ...Practical ApplicationsThe lateral restraint conditions of the side column have a significant influence on the collapse behavior of RC planar frames. Progressive collapse tests on RC planar frames were performed under the scenario of middle column removal. ...
