A clear comprehension of the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structural
components and systems undergoing large displacements is essential to assess the safety …

There has been ever-increasing interest over the past decade in improving understanding of
the mechanisms responsible for the progressive collapse of structures. Existing design …

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 …

Although marked advancements have been achieved to improve the computer power,
progressive collapse analysis of large-scale reinforced concrete structures is still time …

Progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial local failure of a structure. This
phenomenon, caused by the removal of one or more load-bearing element, is followed by a …

Assumptions must necessarily be made when the collapse response of structures is
investigated using simulation models. The type and extent of modeling assumptions depend …

Progressive collapse is a catastrophic chain reaction of failure of a structure that is caused
due to loss of vertical load bearing element of the structure, resulting damage of a part of the …

Progressive collapse has drawn significant attention from researchers because of its
potential to inflict severe damage and casualty. Much research has focused on simulation …

This research effort was motivated by the need for additional insight into the mechanics of
progressive collapse of reinforced concrete frame buildings resulting from the sudden loss of …

Progressive collapse is a complex process in which failure of a single component leads to
collapse of a disproportionately large part of the structural system. Recent building and …
