This paper presents key parameters that affect numerical modeling of steel frame structures
for reliable collapse simulations. The collapse assessment is based on experimental data …

Shaking table test of full-scale 4-story moment frame was carried out at E-defense, one of
the largest shaking tables in the world. The objectives of this experiment are to evaluate …

A finite element (FE) modelling study on the progressive collapse of steel frames under a
sudden column removal scenario is presented. The FE models were developed with refined …

A shaking table test on a full-scale steel building was conducted at the E-Defense three-
dimensional shake table facility to evaluate structural and functional performance of the …

A static push-down analysis is conducted experimentally using a 1/3 scale one-story bare
steel moment frame substructure in this study. The objectives of this test include:(1) …

Computationally efficient macromodels are developed for investigating the progressive
collapse resistance of seismically designed steel moment frame buildings. The developed …

A comprehensive experimental apparatus for the progressive collapse testing of steel
frames has been developed. The apparatus is suited for the testing of planar steel frames to …

This paper presents results from 21 large-scale experiments on steel columns that examined
their collapse behavior as related to steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). The test …

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

In order to assess the robustness of a building structure to progressive collapse, the removal
of a structural key component is utilized. For a steel moment-resisting frame under a column …
