Extreme events (ie terrorist attacks, vehicle impacts, explosions, etc.) often cause local
damage to building structures and pose a serious threat when one or more vertical load …

Abnormal events, that are unforeseeable low-probability and high-impact events, cause
local failure (s) to structures that can lead to the collapse of other members and, eventually …

Robustness is the most comprehensive and acceptable index that describes the ability of
structures to withstand progressive collapse induced by accidental extreme events such as …

In practice, infilled frame is a common structure but the contribution of infill walls is typically
ignored in previous research on progressive collapse. To this end, numerical models based …

The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a structural failure caused
by abnormal loads. It starts as a local failure, followed by a sequential reaction that may …

In precast reinforced concrete frame structures, beam-column joints suffer severe damage
under large deformations, which may significantly influence their performance in resisting …

Despite the increasing interest in progressive collapse-resistant design and analysis of
reinforced concrete buildings that was triggered by accidental and man-made extreme …

Compressive arch action (CAA) is one of the favorable resistance mechanisms at low
deflections against progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. In this …

The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete structures usually starts as a local failure,
which occurs because of abnormal loads. This can result in enormous economic losses and …

Structural safety for extreme loads that may cause local damage to single primary
components or even the progressive collapse of the structure has been probabilistically …
