assessment of structures through the development and implementation of an experimental …

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 …

This paper highlights the importance of accounting for three dimensional effects when
modeling progressive collapse behavior. Two types of nonlinear, inelastic models are first …

This study examines the performance of integration methods for hybrid simulation of large
and complex structural systems in the context of structural collapse due to seismic …

The implementation of two series of hybrid simulations that aim to trace the system-level
seismic response of a four-story steel moment frame building structure through collapse is …

Collapse probability assessment of structures requires the prediction of a structure's
response from the initial linear-elastic behaviour to collapse and thus poses significant …
