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 …

In recent years, the occurrence of a series of extreme events has raised awareness of what
progressive collapse of mainstream reinforced concrete frame structures can cause in terms …

In this study, static tests of six two-story three-span composite frames with concrete-filled
steel tubular (CFST) column under a penultimate column removal scenario were carried out …

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

Post-tensioned precast concrete (PTPC) frames exhibit better seismic behavior and self-
centering capability than conventional precast concrete frames, but few studies have …

In order to investigate the load carrying mechanisms in resisting progressive collapse for
reinforced concrete (RC) structures while considering transverse beam and slab effects, a …

Progressive collapse is a catastrophic chain reaction of failure of a structure that is caused
due to loss of vertical load bearing element of the structure, resulting damage of a part of the …

Abstract In this paper, twelve 1/4-scale precast concrete (PC) substructural specimens with
different beam-column connections under progressive collapse scenario were tested and …

The horizontal stiffness of the isolated layer would be reduced by friction pendulum bearings
(FPB) to enhance the seismic performance of the structures, which means that compressive …

Typical analysis on disproportionate collapse is concerned with the occurrence of collapse
but without considering collapse modes, such as partial and global collapse. As the collapse …
