Collapse of reinforced concrete column by vehicle impact
Walk‐up flats are typically supported by slender columns on the ground floor forming a soft
storey. The column slenderness ratio can be in the order of 6–9. Some of these buildings are …

Collapse modelling of soft-storey buildings
This paper presents results from an extensive study investigating the seismic performance of
soft-storey buildings. Such buildings rely on the moment and axial action of slender columns …

The collapse behaviour of columns with low aspect-ratios
The ultimate drift capacity of a lateral load resisting element is usually defined by the
conditions at which the maximum lateral load resisting capacity is reduced to 80% of the …

[PDF][PDF] Displacement controlled behaviour of asymmetrical buildings
Seismic assessment has traditionally been based on trading off strength with displacement
(ductility) to provide sufficient energy dissipation capacity to structures. However, the energy …
