The choice of the most suitable constitutive models for fibre-based progressive collapse
analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is still an open issue, mainly because …

Progressive building collapse occurs when failure of a structural component leads to the
failure and collapse of surrounding members, possibly promoting additional collapse. Global …

The present thesis is dedicated to the study of the behaviour of steel and composite steel-
concrete building frames with a particular attention paid to the beam-to-column joint …

Steel moment frame buildings face severe collapse potentials when subjected to
earthquakes beyond the design level. Reliable numerical modeling of steel moment frames …

Potential for progressive collapse of RC buildings can be studied using sudden column loss
scenarios. The loss of either a penultimate-internal (PI) column or a penultimate-external …

Corner-supported modular steel building, made of volumetric units, is an efficient
construction system for the next generation of industrialised building construction. The …

A fundamental aspect of the progressive collapse behaviour of building structures is the
response of axially restrained beams following partial or total loss of the load bearing …

The spread of an initial local failure from load-carrying member to other members in system
when subjected to abnormal load, eventually resulting the progressive collapse of an entire …

In this paper, the formulation of a novel 1D frame compound-element for the materially and
geometrically non-linear analysis of steel frames with flexible connections is outlined. The …
