Progressive Collapse Assessment of Framed Reinforced Concrete Structures According to UFC Guidelines for Alternative Path Method
structure is subjected to progressive collapse when a primary vertical structural element fails, resulting in failure of adjoining structural elements which, in their turn, cause further structural failure...
Enhanced Modeling of Steel Structures for Progressive Collapse Analysis Using Applied Element Method
his paper studies performing progressive collapse analysis for steel structures using the requirements of recent codes released by the United States Department of Defense and the General Services...
Aided Design of Framed Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Flood Scouring
n the beginning of 2010, several reinforced concrete structures collapsed due to floods in Sinai and Aswan, Egypt. Scour of soil beneath foundations lead to excessive differential settlements, failure of...
Toward an Economic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures Against Progressive Collapse
three-dimensional discrete crack model based on the Applied Element Method is used to perform economic design for reinforced concrete structures against progressive collapse. The model adopts fully nonlinear...
Effect of Retrofit Strategies on Mitigating Progressive Collapse of Steel Frame Structures
n this study, the effect of three retrofit strategies on enhancing the response of existing steel moment resisting frames designed for gravity loads is investigated using Alternate Path Methods (APM)...
Applied Element Method Analysis of Porous GFRP Barrier Subjected to Blast
umerical analysis of highly dynamic phenomena represents a critical field of study and application for structural engineering as it addresses extreme loading conditions on buildings and the civil...
The Case Study of Explosives Demolition at Chung-Ang Department
recently, construction techniques have been rapidly developed with reconstruction of old buildings, urban regeneration and efforts of restoring natural ecology, so demolition of deteriorated buildings has...
Collapse Modeling of Model RC Structure using the Applied Element Method
n order to analyze collapse behavior of structure containing irregular and large displacement, many numerical analyses have been conducted. In this study, using a new method, Applied Element Method (AEM) for...
Response of a Reinforced Concrete Infilled-Frame Structure to Removal of Two Adjacent Columns
he response of Hotel San Diego, a six-story reinforced concrete infilled-frame structure, is evaluated following the simultaneous removal of two adjacent exterior columns. Analytical models of the structure...
Applied Element Method Used for Large Displacement Structure Analysis
new extension of the Applied Element Method (AEM) for structural analysis is introduced. A brief overview of the method’s formulation is presented. Then, modifications needed to analyze the behavior of...
