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 …

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

Progressive collapse has been an important issue in building failures since the collapse of
the Ronan Point apartment building in 1968. Progressive collapse is a failure sequence that …

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 …

This paper evaluates the practice of using moment connections in the perimeter of the
structural system and shear connections within the interior connections of the three …

Experiments were performed to evaluate the progressive collapse resistance of steel
buildings considering multi-hazard extreme loading. Two 1/3 scale three-story, two-bay steel …

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 …

The progressive collapse phenomenon in structures has been interested by civil engineers
and the building standards organizations. This is particularly true for the tall and special …

Abstract Quasi-static “push-down” experiments were performed to evaluate the progressive
collapse resistance of steel buildings considering multi-hazard extreme loading. A 1: 3 scale …

This paper illustrates a process for estimating the uncertainty in estimation of collapse
capacity of buildings in seismic excitation using Monte Carlo simulation and FOSM method …
