Computational simulations for analyzing progressive collapse resistance of structures
following initial damage require specific attention to structural modeling of floor systems. In …

The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a structural failure caused
by abnormal loads. It starts as a local failure, followed by a sequential reaction that may …

The potential for progressive collapse of a typical reinforced concrete (RC) moment frame
structure initiated through the loss of one or more first-story columns is numerically simulated …

The progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) moment-frame buildings
under extreme loads is discussed from the perspective of modeling issues. A threat …

A static experimental study to investigate progressive failure of a reinforced concrete frame
due to the loss of a lower story column is described. A four-bay and three-story one-third …

Progressive collapse denotes a failure of a major portion of a structure that has been
initiated by failure in a relatively small portion of the structure. One approach to evaluate …

This article presents a nonlinear static pushdown analysis to evaluate the progressive
collapse-resisting capacity curves of typical reinforced concrete frames under different …

Progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has attracted much attention in
the past two decades due to the devastating effects associated with it. This paper presents …

Current methods and practices for modeling and numerical simulation of disproportionate
collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings are reviewed. Modeling advances at …

The key to the research of progressive structural collapse is to perform an in-depth
investigation into the structural collapse mechanism at the onset of structural component …
