Abnormal events, that are unforeseeable low-probability and high-impact events, cause
local failure (s) to structures that can lead to the collapse of other members and, eventually …

This study explores the progressive collapse resistance of composite substructures with the
fully-welded connection (FC) and fully-welded connection with rectangular web openings …

To improve the anti-progressive collapse performance of top-seat and web-angle
connections, a novel bending T-stub connection (BTC) is proposed, and its tensile …

With structural and economic benefits, concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns have
been widely used in multistorey buildings in which the beam-to-column joints play an …

Compared with conventional steel bars, steel-FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) composite bars
(SFCBs) have distinctive post-yield stiffness, and the high efficiency of SFCBs in enhancing …

The sudden column loss, which is caused by fire, is a unique illustration of a localized failure
that can eventually lead to the progressive collapse of the entire steel-framed structures. To …

A progressive collapse of structures is usually triggered by extreme incidents, especially
explosions and impacts, resulting in a dynamic response that differs from the conventional …

To investigate the disparity in collapse performance between multi-story composite frames
with equal or unequal spans, experimental tests were statically conducted on two 1/3 scaled …

Masonry infill walls serve as building partitions and are generally considered non-structural
components. Their weights are considered in progressive collapse analysis, but the …

Compared with reinforced concrete structure, precast concrete structure is prone to
progressive collapse due to its poor continuity. The use of ultra-high performance concrete …
