Ancient southern Chinese timber buildings, built in the Song and Yuan dynasties (AD 960– 1368), play an important role in Chinese cultural heritage. Nowadays, such buildings …
Progressive collapse research of concrete flat plate structures, typically investigated through the alternate path (AP) method with a focus on column failure (removal), has often neglected …
To investigate the pre-and post-punching failure performances of flat slab-column joints with drop panels and shear studs, static loading tests were conducted on three joint specimens …
Majority of progressive collapse incidents of concrete flat plate structures were caused by slab overloading in the form of punching shear failure at a slab-column joint, which exhibit …
Flat plate-column joints with in-plane constraints exhibit a suspension mechanism under large deformations after punching shear failure, which significantly affects the progressive …
This paper aims at assessing the impact of removing various numbers of perimeter columns on the integrity of RC flat plate substructures. Compared to interior columns, those at the …
This study evaluates the seismic performance of multi-story reinforced concrete flat plate slab buildings with and without steel bracing. The structural behavior of 4, 6, and 8-story …
