Infilled Masonry Walls Contribution in Mitigating Progressive Collapse of multistory Reinforced Concrete Structures According to UFC Guidelines
structure is subjected to progressive collapse when an element fails, resulting in failure of adjoining structural elements which, in their turn, cause further structural failure leading eventually to...
Earthquake Pounding Effect on Adjacent Reinforced Concrete Buildings
uring earthquakes, pounding of adjacent buildings occurs due to their different dynamic characteristics as well as insufficient separation distance between them. Although earthquake loading is commonly...
Reduced Degree of Freedom Modeling for Progressive Collapse Analysis of Tall Buildings using Applied Element Method
ince progressive collapse of tall buildings can cause enormous damage, it should be considered during the design phase of tall buildings. The progressive collapse analysis of tall buildings using finite...
Nonlinear analysis of the dynamic behavior of prefabricated pedestrian walkways
arthquakes have been considered one of the most destructive and violent forces of nature, causing great tragedies and significant economic losses. The main of this study objective is to evaluate the overall...
An Investigation of the Effectiveness of the Framing Systems in Steel Structures Subjected to Blast Loading
he effectiveness of different framing systems for three seismically designed steel frame structures subjected to blast loading is investigated. The three faming systems considered are: a moment resisting...
Structural Identification and Damage Characterization of a Masonry Infill Wall in a Full-Scale Building Subjected to Internal Blast Load
tructural identification continues to develop an expanding role within performance-based civil engineering by offering a means to construct high-fidelity analytical models of in-service structures calibrated...
Improving the Structural Robustness of Multistory Steel-Frame Buildings
lthough there are numerous hazards that could trigger the progressive collapse of a building, there are limited provisions in related codes regarding the design of structures to withstand exposure to such...
Theoretical and Experimental Research on Progressive Collapse of RC Frame Buildings
rogressive collapse of the buildings has become an important issue to be studied in recent years due to the catastrophic nature of its effects. This subject can be approached from two different perspectives:...
The Simulation of an Industrial Building Demolition
he paper presents a way of checking and optimization of a demolition scenario at an industrial building based on controlled blasting method in order to transition to the actual demolition of the building in...
Performance-Based Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation of Masonry Buildings Using Applied Element Method in a Nonlinear Dynamic-Based Analytical Procedure
thorough four-step performance-based seismic evaluation for a six-story unreinforced masonry building is conducted. Incremental dynamic analysis is carried out using the applied element method to take...
