The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is a structural failure caused
by abnormal loads. It starts as a local failure, followed by a sequential reaction that may …

Dynamic progressive collapse tests are becoming more and more popular in recent years
since this approach captures the real structural behavior more robustly, and progressive …

The slew of high profile engineering calamities in the past decade has demonstrated the
disastrous consequence of progressive collapse. However, the low probability of such …

Precast construction has received a lot of interest over the last few decades. Among the
advantageous aspects of precast structures are superior quality, faster construction, and …

This paper addresses the experimental investigation on the behaviour of precast concrete
beam–column sub-assemblages with engineered cementitious composites (ECC) in …

One static and four dynamic collapse experiments have been conducted on beam-column
assemblies under a middle-column removal scenario to investigate the dynamic collapse …

Precast Concrete (PC) building structures are weak to progressive collapse due to
discontinuity of reinforcement at beam-column joints. In the present study, four static loading …

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

This paper focuses on structural behaviour of storeys above the targeted column that is
suddenly lost due to accidental/terrorist events. The pertinent question is whether these …

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