Steel bolted connections are used in many engineering, mechanical and building structures
that can be subjected to a wide variety of thermal loads [11, 28]. As a result of these loads …

This paper presents the progressive collapse experiment efforts in beam-column assemblies
with WUF-B connections after fire exposure. A refined numerical simulation approach that …

Stability is one of the most important parameters to evaluate seismic base isolators. Previous
research has illustrated the power of base isolators with single and multiple rubber cores …

Most of the vertical progressive collapse failure of structures is caused by central-column
removal. When the lateral stiffnesses on the two sides of a removed column are different, the …

This paper presents both the experimental and numerical studies on the collapse resistance
of beam-column substructures with all-welded connections under a middle-column removal …

In existing connections, the continuity plates are used to transfer forces from beam to
column. The continuity plate can be used easily in the H-column from the practical point of …

The reduced beam section (RBS) connections are widely used in construction buildings due
to their desirable ductility and strength. The current reduced web section (RWS) connections …

Fire-induced loss of column members is a unique scenario of localized failure that could
further trigger the progressive collapse of frame structures. This paper presents an …

Up to now, most studies corresponding to building structures against progressive collapse
are based on the column-removal scenario. However, other cases, ie, falling-debris impact …

The resistance of beam-to-column connections to fire is an important consideration for the
design of steel moment frames. The authors seek to study the effect of fire on such …
