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 …

Abstract The Linked Column Frame (LCF) system consists of the main lateral load bearing
system of the structure called the Linked Column (LC) frame; the structural system is Moment …

If an alternative path would not be considered for redistribution of loads, local failure in
structures will be followed by a progressive collapse. When a vertical load-bearing element …

Local failure of one or more components due to abnormal loading can induce the
progressive collapse of a building structure. In this study, by the aid of available full-scale …

In order to improve the progressive collapse resistance of an RC frame structure with an L-
shaped plane under local component failure, X-tension reinforcement and steel trusses are …

This study investigates the effect of different link beam lengths in the Reinforced Concrete
(RC) frame retrofitted with the Linked Column Frame (LCF) system. It also investigates the …

Progressive collapse is a nonlinear phenomenon that starts from the damage of a part of the
structure and ends with the whole structure and its total damage. Therefore, the study of this …

The intended purpose of this study is the steel moment-resisting frames strengthening
through cable elements to improve the progressive collapse and seismic performance of the …

Steel frames with concrete floor systems have been widely used in buildings due to their
high constructional efficiency and excellent seismic performance. Currently, limited …
