SUMMARY A hybrid numerical and experimental simulation to collapse was conducted on a
one‐half scale moment‐resisting frame building with two experimental substructures at …

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 …

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

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 …

This paper presents and analyzes experimental results of tests of 15 four-column frame
specimens subjected to progressively increasing unidirectional ground shaking to collapse …

Nonlinear seismic analysis techniques have increasingly been used in performance-based
seismic engineering to analyze and design new and existing structures, especially in the …

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

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 …
