and south regions and different rice systems were drawn respectively, the causes are …

The sensitivity of the seismic response parameters to the uncertain modelling variables of
the infills and frame of four infilled reinforced concrete frames was investigated using a …

Column removal failure is a common failure type of reinforced concrete (RC) structures
subjected to progressive collapse. Thus, it is widely adopted to use the experimental …

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 …

The performance of building structures under abnormal loading conditions, such as blast
and impact, is of interest to researchers and engineers because of the possibility of …

This paper presents a new empirical method for calculating the dynamic increase factor
(DIF) that is used to amplify the gravity loads on the affected bays of a building frame, when …

The definition of performance limit states for progressive collapse design and assessment of
civil structures is an open issue and deserves special attention in view of future building …

Rapid urbanization is one of the primary reasons for changing the local climate, and there is
a high impact on the surrounding areas. Chandigarh is one of the fastest developing cities in …

Tsunamis are rare destructive phenomena caused by the sudden displacement of a large
amount of water in the ocean and can result in enormous losses to coastal communities. The …

In this study, the variability inherent in the performance of RC frame structures to bridge over
a column loss was investigated, considering the uncertainties existing in gravity loads …
