Stainless steels are modern high-performance construction materials exhibiting excellent
corrosion resistance, recyclability, ductility, and durability which make them appealing to use …

This paper investigates the influence of perforated masonry walls on the progressive
collapse resistance of multi-story reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this study, bare and …

The spread of an initial local failure from load-carrying member to other members in system
when subjected to abnormal load, eventually resulting the progressive collapse of an entire …

Many engineers are interested in the progressive collapse phenomenon, considering multi-
user typical buildings, construction bias toward economization and thus, reduction of …

Vehicle collision is occurred in the ground level of buildings accidentally or intentionally.
This event is a common scenario of generating structural damages. In some cases, these …

The limited knowledge of the behaviour of modular buildings subjected to different loading
scenarios and thereby lack of design guidelines hinder the growth of modular construction …

In this paper, a combination of tests and non-linear finite element analyses is used to
investigate the web crippling strength of cold-formed ferritic stainless steel unlipped …

In the past, the progressive collapse resulting from local failures during accidents has
caused many tragedies and loss of life. Although long-span spatial grid structures are …

Local failure of one or more components due to abnormal loading can induce the
progressive collapse of a building structure. In this study, by the aid of available full-scale …

In cold-formed stainless steel lipped channel-sections, use of web openings for service
purposes are becoming increasingly popular. Web openings, however, result in the sections …
