This paper presents the experimental and numerical investigation on resistance of two-
storey steel sub-frames subjected to a middle column removal scenario. Two different types …

In modular buildings made of volumetric units, robust structural action may be established by
considering various scenarios for localisation of damage, corresponding to loss of supports …

Steel frame structures with ordinary weld connections often suffer from brittle fractures; to
mitigate this issue, measures have been taken to integrate plastic hinges and improve the …

In this study, nine laboratory tests were conducted to estimate the performance of
earthquake-resistant structures, ie, reduced beam section (RBS) connection, under a …

Through quasi-static loading regimes, notable research efforts have been made in recent
years towards understanding the structural behaviour and resistance mechanism of …

To study the effect of assembled tensile steel brace on the progressive collapse resistance
of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures, two 1/4-scaled two-bay two-story composite …

Despite their low probability of occurrence, the consequences of abnormal loads may be
very important, both in economic terms and in terms of human lives. This has stimulated the …

A modal pushdown analysis procedure is developed for progressive collapse assessment of
multi-storey steel frame buildings under sudden removal of a column due to catastrophic …

Few studies have been conducted on the anti-progressive collapse performance of
composite frames with openings on the beam web, which are commonly employed in the …

A spatial steel frame with concrete slab and special-shaped multi-partition concrete filled
steel tubular columns was tested in a simulated scenario of progressive collapse. The load …
