Reinforcement corrosion and seismic damage considerably affect the seismic performance
of reinforced concrete (RC) members. In present research, five RC beam-column joints were …

The progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, being one of the most
critical failure scenarios, is a great concern for the structural engineering community. As …

Being one of the most critical scenarios in extreme events such as blast attacks, the
progressive collapse of reinforced concrete (RC) structures has attracted the attention of …

Since existing precast RC (reinforced concrete) structures are lacking structural continuity at
regions of beam-column connections, they are less resistant to progressive collapse in the …

This study aims at investigating the efficacy of using an innovative hybrid strengthening
technique composed of near-surface mounted (NSM) steel rebars along with fiber reinforced …

Despite their low probability of occurrence, the consequences of abnormal loads may be
very important, both in economic terms and in terms of human lives. This has stimulated the …

This study presents analysis of the safety of prefabricated buildings utilizing concrete large-
panel technology in the context of building failures as a result of exceptional loads and in the …

Compared to monolithic reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, precast RC buildings are more
prone to the risk of progressive collapse. Therefore, there is a need for efficient methods to …

Disproportionate collapse triggered by local structural failure may cause huge casualties
and economic losses, being one of the most critical civil engineering incidents. It is generally …

The multi-story buildings are susceptible to progressive collapse in the event of the removal
of one or more columns due to the exposure to blast loads. The lack of structural continuity in …
