Cyclic and Explosive Evaluation of New Proposed Steel Joint by Iman Faridmehr, Yusof Ahmad, Mahmood Md. Tahir, Mohd Hanim Osman

“…The behaviour of a novel steel beam-to-column connection, the saddlebag, subjected to cyclic and progressive collapse, was evaluated in this paper. The cyclic behaviour considered the interstory drift angle and flexural strength in accordance with 2010 AISC Seismic Provisions, while progressive collapse assessment was evaluated through the plastic hinge rotation angle based on acceptance criteria provided in the UFC 4-023-03 guideline. …”

Restoration of Load-Bearing Structures of Buildings after Accidents by O. A. Simakov

“…The issues of protecting buildings from special, usually non-design, impacts, including progressive collapse as a result of emergency impacts, are the subject of many scientific works and regulatory documents have been developed regulating calculation and design provisions for application at the design stage. …”

Macro Modeling of Column Removal in RC Frames with Consideration of Importance Factor and Infill Walls by Seyed Ali Hassanzadeh, Hamid Reza Ashrafi, Mehdi Komasi

“…In this study, the effect of importance factor (IF) on RC frames with and without infill walls, in both with and without opening conditions, is evaluated against progressive collapse. For this purpose, RC building with the intermediate moment frame system for three levels of importance factor that these levels are intermediate, high, and very high IF is designed. …”

Optimizing UHPC Layers to Improve Punching Shear Performance in Concrete Slabs by Ahmed A. Hassoon, Rafea F. Hassan, Husam H. Hussein

“…However, brittle punching shear failure at slab–column connections can cause progressive collapse. UHPC has a higher tensile strength than NSC and, when appropriately reinforced with steel fibers, exhibits strain hardening after initial cracking. …”
