This paper reviews the state-of-art in progressive collapse studies on framed building
structures. Such types of failure start with a local damage which extension increases, up to …

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 a key factor in the safety of structures and structural components or sub-
assemblies against progressive or disproportionate collapse, the latter term being classically …

Forming door and window openings in partition infill walls is a frequent activity in
engineering practices, while the complexity of the mechanical behavior of such infill systems …

This study aims to present practical calculation models to predict the deformation capacity
and the progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames for design …

This study numerically investigates progressive collapse mechanisms of post-tensioned RC
frames under column removal scenarios by using the finite element method. The primary …

This paper investigates the combined influences of infill walls and floor slabs on mechanical
behaviors of post-tensioned (PT) reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures against collapse …

Steel frames may have an inherent ability to resist progressive collapse through alternative
load-resisting mechanisms, including Vierendeel, flexural, catenary, and membrane actions …

Steel braces have been widely used as a major lateral stability system to resist the lateral
load. However, the influences of steel braces on enhancing the load resistance in moment …

In this study, the effectiveness of masonry infill walls on steel frames with different beam-
column connections under progressive collapse was investigated through a parametric …
