In collapse-resistant design of structures, understanding primary structural failure-
mechanisms and alternative load paths under accidental extreme loads is important. A quasi …

This paper documents the findings from a dynamic collapse experiment carried out on a
single-story two-by-two bay reinforced concrete flat-plate substructure. The test specimen …

With a spate of high-profile structural collapses leading to severe casualties and economic
loss in recent history, there has been a growing interest in understanding the behavior of …

Using a macromodeling approach and alternate path method, dynamic and static analyses
are performed to assess the progressive collapse resistance of a multistory reinforced …

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 …

This paper presents an experimental and analytical progressive collapse-resistance
evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) frame substructures under monotonic vertical …

Progressive collapse research of concrete flat plate structures, typically investigated through
the alternate path (AP) method with a focus on column failure (removal), has often neglected …

The progressive collapse of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure due to the loss of a
centre column was investigated in a static experimental study. A two-span, two-bay, single …

The progressive collapse of structures under accidental loading is a serious threat to public
safety. In this paper, the results of recent research on the dynamic response, failure …

In 1968 a relatively small gas exposition on the 18th floor of the Ronan Point tower building
resulted in the partial collapse of the structure. This event highlighted that progress collapse …
