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 …

Beam-column joints using dry connections usually experience severe damage under large
deformations, causing precast concrete (PC) frames with dry connections to become highly …

In recent decades, precast concrete buildings have undergone significant development,
attracting considerable academic attention to their mechanical performances. Unlike cast-in …

Unequal-span prestressed concrete (USPC) structures have unequal spans on the left and
right sides and are configured with prestressed steel strands on both spans. However …

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 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 …

In this study, the collapse experiment of a 1/2 scaled two-story and two-span self-centering
precast concrete (PC) infilled frame specimen was carried out by quasi-static pushdown side …

The dynamic response of frame structure in progressive collapse has been investigated by
some scholars by removing the column suddenly. However, the research cannot exhibit the …

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) strips have been widely used to retrofit existing reinforced
concrete (RC) frame structures to improve their progressive collapse resistance. However …

Since progressive collapse usually has serious consequences, the problem of progressive
collapse resistance has gradually become a topical issue in recent years. However, most of …
