Athorough 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 advantage of its ability to simulate progressive collapse of the...

In this study, an attempt is made to numerically simulate the behavior of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) and Polypropylene (PP) band composite using the Applied Element Method (AEM). Both of these materials have their own unique properties. FRP is used to increase the strength, whereas PP-band is used to increase the deformation capacity and energy dissipation capacity of masonry wall system.

During seismic response, redistribution of load carried by damaged or failed structural members to adjacent members may lead to overstress or exceeding load resistant capacity of the other members resulting in spread or propagation of damage until development of...

The research on progressive collapse of structures generally focuses on gravity and blast loadings and the design objective is to increase the redundancy and robustness of structures to prevent progressive collapse. Studies of bridges damaged by earthquake in past...

DThe collapse of non-engineered masonry is one of the greatest causes of death in major earthquake events around the world, yet by definition non-engineered structures remain largely outside of the scope of modern engineering research. For this reason, the majority of...
