In earthquake engineering, structural collapse is defined as the local or global failure of a
system that occurs due to the loss of vertical load-carrying capacity in the presence of …

Progressive collapse is a catastrophic structural phenomenon that can occur because of
human-made and natural hazards. In progressive collapse mechanism, a single local failure …

The collapses of building structures during recent earthquakes have raised many questions
regarding the adequacy of current seismic provisions to prevent a partial or total collapse …

Global collapse in earthquake engineering refers to the inability of a structural system to
sustain gravity loads in the presence of seismic effects. This research proposes a …

Avoidance of collapse is the most important objective in earthquake resistant design, but
assessing the probability of collapse of a structure during an earthquake is technically …

This paper proposes an alternative algorithm for estimating structural resistance to
earthquake-induced collapse. The method utilizes nonlinear static (pushover) analysis to …

Due to recent advancements in performance-based earthquake engineering methods, in
modeling of complex nonlinear structural behavior, and in characterization of earthquake …

Assessing the probability of collapse is a computationally demanding component of
performance‐based earthquake engineering. This paper examines various aspects involved …

This paper summarizes collapse performance measures and the probabilistic basis for their
development to assist in understanding of collapse behaviour of buildings and …

In the present article, the impact of both near fault ground motions and a finite ductility
threshold on the collapse capacity is studied. Single-degree-of-freedom systems with non …
