The world has seen a surge in rigorous study efforts on the progressive collapse of
structures in the past few decades. These events have led to new standards and provisions …

This paper considers the progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete structures
based on the sudden removal of a load-bearing structural element and simulation of the …

This paper investigates the influence of perforated masonry walls on the progressive
collapse resistance of multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this study, bare and …

An algorithm has been developed to optimize the reinforced concrete beams in removing
the supports based on an adapted genetic algorithm and RBDO approach. Multiple cross …

In the recent two decades, the progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) frame
structures attracted unprecedented research interests in the structural engineering …

The perimeter columns of framed structures are more vulnerable to terrorist attacks due to
accessibility. The beams and slabs above the damaged columns are the primary structural …

Many studies have been carried out for understanding the mechanism of failure of RC
structural systems under varying temperature circumstances. Similarly, several methods …

This study presents analysis of the safety of prefabricated buildings utilizing concrete large-
panel technology in the context of building failures as a result of exceptional loads and in the …

A method for finding design solutions for discrete sets of design parameters, including a
single two-cycle iterative process, has been developed. The evolutionary procedure is a first …

The results of experimental and theoretical studies of deformation and failure of monolithic
reinforced concrete (RC) frames under accidental action caused by the sudden removal of …
