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 …

Hybrid simulation combines numerical and experimental methods for cost‐effective, large‐
scale testing of structures under simulated dynamic earthquake loads. Particularly for …

Collapse prevention and life safety are of utmost importance in earthquake resistant design.
Structures, however, have a small probability of collapse due to uncertainties in the ground …

Hybrid simulation is an effective structural test technique combining numerical simulation of
substructures with predictable behavior, and experimental testing of complex components …

Hybrid simulation can provide significant advantages for large-scale experimental
investigations of the seismic response of structures through collapse, particularly when …

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 …

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 …
