Numerical Investigation of Reinforced Concrete Barriers Subjected to Blast Loading
People’s lives are threatened by explosions; the tragic terrorist attacks have forced the governments to consider the importance of dealing with these attacks. With the rising threat of terrorism, protecting critical civil infrastructure such as embassies, governmental buildings, and airports against bomb attacks has become a critical issue. In the current research, reinforced concrete barriers subjected to blast loading are numerically investigated using Applied Element Method “AEM”.
Effects of Close Range Blasts on Steel Frames. Experimental Testing and Numerical Validation
uring last decades, there was an increased interest from research and design professionals to provide effective strategies in protecting buildings and other assets from the direct effects of blasts or other...
Collapse Prevention Design Criteria for Moment Connections in Multi-Story Steel Frames Under Extreme Actions
he paper investigates the role of beam-to-column connections in mitigation the progressive collapse of multi-story steel frame buildings in case of column loss. On this purpose, a set of moment frames with...
Ultimate Capacity of Beam-to-Column Connections Under Bending and Axial Stresses
apacity of multi-storey steel frame buildings to resist extreme loading may depend on the performance of beam-to-column connections. If catenary action forms, this results in large axial force demands in...
Effect of Connection Between Reinforced Concrete Slab and Steel Beams In Multi-Story Frames Subjected to Different Column Loss Scenarios
he paper investigates the contribution of floor systems to improving the progressive collapse resistance of multi-story frame buildings following loss of a column. Composite action and diaphragm effect of...
Verification of Masonry Properties in AEM Analysis for Brick Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames
he present study focuses on the verification of masonry constituent properties for analytical investigation of the in-plane cyclic behavior of brick infilled RC frames in AEM. The material properties were...
Numerical Collapse Analysis of Tsuyagawa Bridge Damaged by Tohoku Tsunami
he collapse of Tsuyagawa bridge damaged by Tohoku Tsunami is numerically investigated using the Applied Element Method, due to its advantages of simulating structural progressive collapse. The analysis was...
Progressive Collapse Assessment of Multi-Story Flat Slab Reinforced Concrete Structures under Gravity Loads
he resistance of multi-slory RC flal slab structures to progressive collapse is numerically evaluated using Appled Element Method. The case study was desiged according to ACI 318 and its progressive collapse...
Post-Fracture Response of Blast Loaded Monolithic Glass
his paper investigates transient dynamic loading and response of glazing panels. This is a complex phenomenon dependent upon material properties, structural arrangement and proximity to the explosive source....
Numerical Methods in Progressive Collapse Assessment of RC Framed Structures: FEM vs. AEM
rogressive collapse is, according to GSA (2003), a situation where local failure of a primary structural component leads to the collapse of adjoining members which, in turn, leads to additional collapse....
