Although many of the key physical phenomena associated with progressive collapse can be
adequately modeled by high fidelity finite element analysis, such models are prohibitively …

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

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 …

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

Several prototype steel moment-frame buildings have been designed for the purpose of
assessing their vulnerability to progressive collapse. The buildings were designed for …

This paper presents a comprehensive study on three-dimensional steel frame structures
subjected to progressive collapse, drawing insights from a full-scale steel frame substructure …

This paper presents a simplified model to evaluate progressive collapse response of steel
beam–column substructures in a midspan column removal scenario. The model accounts for …

Progressive collapse analysis of seismically designed, special moment resisting steel frame
buildings is presented. The analysis model and the assumptions needed to create it are …

The overarching objective of this dissertation is to advance knowledge on collapse
assessment of structures through the development and implementation of an experimental …

A field experiment and numerical simulations were performed to investigate the progressive
collapse potential of an existing steel frame building. Four first-story columns were physically …
