A macromodel for slab-column connections is created for use in the system-level
progressive collapse analyses of reinforced concrete flat-plate structures. The proposed …

In this paper, macro-modeling methods of the slab-column connections were suggested to
predict their post-punching behavior. These modeling techniques can be used to evaluate …

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 …

This paper presents experimental and numerical studies of reinforced concrete flat-plate
structures. Experiments were performed on six interior slab-column connections without …

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 buildings may result in major financial losses and fatalities, so
reducing the chances of such occurrences is of paramount importance. Due to the absence …

The problem of structural progressive collapse has been investigated using a real-scale
reinforced concrete flat-slab frame building, which has survived collapse after two of its …

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

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 …
