Compressive arch action (CAA) is one of the important resistance mechanisms against
progressive collapse in reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings at small deformations. In …

Catenary action plays crucial role in resisting the applied vertical load at large deformations
stage in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper aims to predict the catenary action …

Beam-column joints using dry connections usually experience severe damage under large
deformations, causing precast concrete (PC) frames with dry connections to become highly …

The progressive collapse of structures often causes serious casualties and property loss.
The intrinsic characteristic of progressive collapse is large-scale domino-like structural …

This paper presents a rational method for the horizontal tying of multi-storey building
structures aimed at robustness design and the mitigation of progressive collapse. Unlike …

Partially restrained connections comprise intricate systems of multiple components, each
exhibiting varying degrees of performance degradation under fire conditions. Consequently …

Assessing the collapse region in the progressive collapse of buildings is one of the
important issues in urban planning for disaster recovery. A rapid visual simulation method …

Previous studies on the influence of boundary constraints on the structural collapse behavior
have primarily focused on single-story sub-assemblages, and the limited research on multi …

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

Progressive collapse can be defined as a cascading phenomenon in which an initial failure
is followed by the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, is followed by further …
