This paper reviews the state-of-art in progressive collapse studies on framed building
structures. Such types of failure start with a local damage which extension increases, up to …

A finite-element modeling study on the progressive collapse of steel moment-resisting
frames under column removal scenarios is presented. Different parameters, such as location …

Robustness is called to non-sensitivity of a structure to local damage. In the literature of Civil
Engineering, the sensitivity of structures to the local damage which can cause a progressive …

Abstract The Alternative Load Path (ALP) method is widely used to assess progressive
collapse resistance of steel framed structures. Code-based ALP is a threat-independent …

Consecutive loads can pose a serious threat to the safety of structures. The sudden removal
of load-bearing elements such as columns is one of the causes of the progressive collapse …

Progressive collapse is a situation where local failure of a primary structural component
leads to the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, leads to additional collapse …

Nowadays, with the spread of terrorist attacks in many parts of the world, the design
approach to abnormal loadings, such as a blast load, has also become noted of design …

Seismic isolation devices are commonly used to mitigate damages caused by seismic
responses of structures. More damages are created due to progressive collapse in …

In this study, the performance of viscoelastic dampers designed for seismic loading has
been investigated for controlling reinforced concrete special moment frame (RC-SMF) …

Due to the high cost of the experimental progressive collapse tests, numerical simulation
has been widely used by researchers. Finite element method is applied in the majority of …
